by Édouard Guinand (1838 - 1909)

L'été
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ah! chantez, chantez, 
Folle fauvette,
Gaie alouette,
Joyeux pinson, chantez, aimez!
Parfum des roses,
Fraîches écloses,
Rendez nos bois, nos bois plus embaumés!
Ah! chantez, aimez!

Soleil qui dore
Les sycomores
Remplis d'essains tout bruisants,
Verse la joie,
Que tout se noie
Dans tes rayons resplendissants.
Ah! chantez, aimez ...

Souffle, qui passes
Dans les espaces
Semant l'espoir d'un jour d'été.
Que ton haleine
Donne à la plaine
Plus d'éclat et plus de beauté.
Ah! chantez, chantez!

Dans la prairie
Calme et fleurie,
Entendez-vous ces mots si doux.
L'âme charmée,
L'épouse aimée 
Bénit le ciel près de l'époux!
Ah! chantez, aimez, ...
