Our translations: ENG
Mille fleurs aux calices d'or, Pétales bleus, pétales roses, Violettes à peine écloses, Pervenches qui naissez encor, Par vous la brise est parfumée, Par vous se constelle le sol, Et le frais zéphir dans son vol Vous baise : ô caresse embaumée ! Du matin les rayons altiers Vous baisent, pâles églantines, Fleurissez, blanches aubépines, Fleurissez, roses amandiers!
