A La Claire Fontaine


Text and Translation:


A la claire fontaine
M'en allant promener,
J'ai trouve l'eau si belle
Que je m'y suis baigne.

 At the clear fountain
As I was strolling by,
I found the water so lovely
That I went in to bathe.

(Refrain)
Ii y a longtemps que je t'aime,
jamais je ne t'oublierai.

 (Refrain)
It's so long that I've loved you,
Never will I forget you.

Sous les feuilles d'un chene
Je me suis fait secher,
Sur la plus haute branche,
Un rossignol chantait. (Refrain)

 Under an oak tree
I dried myself,
On the highest branch
A nightingale was singing. (Refrain)

Chante, rossignol, chante,
Toi qui as le coeur gai,
Tu as le coeur a rire,
Moi je l'ai a pleurer. (Refrain)

 Sing, nightingale, sing,
Yo ur heart is so happy,
Your heart feels like laughing,
Mine feels like weeping. (Refrain)

J'ai perdu mon amie
Sans l'avoir merite,
Pour un bouquet de roses,
Que je lui refusai. (Refrain)

 I lost my beloved
Without deserving it,
Over a bouquet of roses,
That I refused to give her. (Refrain)

Je voudrais que la rose
Fut encore au rosier,
Et que ma douce amie
Fut encore a m'aimer. (Refrain)

 I wanted the rose
To stay on the rosebush,
And for my sweet love
To still be loving me. (Refrain)
