Je borne mes rêveries |
I limit my reveries |
À l’émail de nos prairies. |
To the dazzling colours of our meadows. |
Je vais passer mes loisirs |
I take my recreation |
Sur les bords d’une fontaine. |
Beside a fountain. |
Si je pousse des soupirs, |
If I utter a sigh, |
C’est pour recevoir l’haleine |
It is to receive the breath |
Des rafraîchissants zéphyrs. |
Of the refreshing zephyrs. |
