by Armand Silvestre (1837 - 1901)

Cocorico ! le coq chante !
Language: French (Français) 
Cocorico ! le coq chante !
C'est le clairon du matin.
Il monte une odeur de thym 
Des grands près où tout s'enchante.
Cocorico! le coq chante !

Cocorico! le coq chante !
Bêtes et gens vont manger,
De la maison du berger 
Monte une odeur alléchante.
Cocorico! le coq chante !

Cocorico! le coq chante !
Entr'ouvrant ses jolis yeux,
Myrto me dit, l'air joyeux, 
Qu'elle me hait, la méchante !
Cocorico! le coq chante !
