À LA CLAIRE FONTAINE
M’EN ALLANT PROMENER
J’AI TROUVÉ L’EAU SI BELLE
QUE JE M’Y SUIS BAIGNÉ
IL Y A LONGTEMPS QUE JE T’AIME
JAMAIS JE NE T’OUBLIERAI
SOUS LES FEUILLES D’UN CHÊNE
JE ME SUIS FAIT SÉCHER
SUR LA PLUS HAUTE BRANCHE
UN ROSSIGNOL CHANTAIT
IL Y A LONGTEMPS QUE JE T’AIME
JAMAIS JE NE T’OUBLIERAI
CHANTE ROSSIGNOL, CHANTE
TOI QUI A LE COEUR GAI
TU AS LE COEUR À RIRE
MOI JE L’AI À PLEURER
IL Y A LONGTEMPS QUE JE T’AIME
JAMAIS JE NE T’OUBLIERAI
J’AI PERDU MON AMIE
SANS L’AVOIR MÉRITÉ
POUR UN BOUQUET DE ROSES
QUE JE LUI REFUSAI
IL Y A LONGTEMPS QUE JE T’AIME
JAMAIS JE NE T’OUBLIERAI
JE VOUDRAIS QUE LA ROSE
FÛT ENCORE AU ROSIER
ET QUE MA DOUCE AMIE
FÛT ENCORE À M’AIMER
IL Y A LONGTEMPS QUE JE T’AIME
JAMAIS JE NE T’OUBLIERAI

AT THE CLEAR FOUNTAIN
WHILE GOING FOR A WALK
I FOUND THE WATER SO BEAUTIFUL
I BATHED IN IT
FOR A LONG TIME, I HAVE LOVED YOU
NEVER WILL I FORGET YOU
UNDER THE LEAVES OF AN OAK TREE
I DRIED MYSELF
ON THE HIGHEST BRANCH
A NIGHTINGALE WAS SINGING
FOR A LONG TIME, I HAVE LOVED YOU
NEVER WILL I FORGET YOU
SING, NIGHTINGALE, SING
YOU, WHO HAS A MERRY HEART
YOU FEEL LIKE LAUGHING
ME, I FEEL LIKE CRYING
FOR A LONG TIME, I HAVE LOVED YOU
NEVER WILL I FORGET YOU
I LOST MY FRIEND
WITHOUT DESERVING IT
OVER A BOUQUET OF ROSES
THAT I REFUSED
FOR A LONG TIME, I HAVE LOVED YOU
NEVER WILL I FORGET YOU
I WISH THAT THE ROSE
WERE STILL ON THE ROSEBUSH
AND THAT MY SWEETHEART
STILL LOVED ME
FOR A LONG TIME, I HAVE LOVED YOU
NEVER WILL I FORGET YOU
