Le matin
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG
Lorsque s'éveille le Matin
Au Luxembourg encor désert,
En chantant dans le gazon vert
Les oiselets font leur festin.
Les feuilles sont comme un satin
Des larmes de la nuit couvert,
Lorsque s'éveille le Matin
Au Luxembourg encor désert.
Le moineau du quartier Latin,
Pour qui se donne le concert,
A des miettes pour son dessert,
Et folâtre comme un lutin
Lorsque s'éveille le Matin.

The morning
Language: English  after the French (Français)
When awakens the Morning
In the still-deserted Luxembourg,
Singing in the green lawn
The baby birds [have] their feast.
The leaves are like satin
With tears of the night covered
When awakens the Morning
In the still-deserted Luxembourg.
The sparrow of the Latin Quarter,
For which it gives the concert,
Has breadcrumbs for its dessert
And frolics like a goblin
When awakens the Morning.
