Lyrics

Sans crainte des embûches,
une abeille au réveil,
s’envola de sa ruche,
chantant l’hymne au soleil.
La belle abeille a butiné les blés barbus,
la belle abeille a bu,
la belle abeille a vu,
ce qu’abeille jamais de sa vie n’avait vu.
Posé sur une branche,
elle vit un bourdon,
qui fut pour elle cause,
d’une grande émotion.
Alors sans plus attendre,
le bourdon très galant,
l’invita d’un air tendre,
en son appartement.
Les parois sont de verre,
le plafond de papier.
Je suis seul locataire
en pleine liberté.
Notre petite abeille,
écoutant le bourdon,
à ces mots s'émerveille
et fait deux grands yeux ronds.
Bientôt leur apparurent
tous les bonheurs promis,
c’est un pot d’confiture
qui leur servit de nid

Lyrics translation

Without fear of pitfalls,
a bee on awakening,
flew from his hive,
singing the anthem in the sun.
The Beautiful Bee has forked the bearded wheat,
the Beautiful Bee drank,
the Beautiful Bee saw,
what Bee had never seen in her life.
Laid on a branch,
she lives a bumblebee,
who was for her cause,
of great emotion.
So without further ado,
the very gallant Bumblebee,
she invited him with a tender air,
in his apartment.
The walls are glass,
the paper ceiling.
I'm the only tenant
in full freedom.
Our little bee,
listening to the Bumblebee,
at these words is amazed
and makes two big round eyes.
Soon appeared to them
all the greetings promised,
it's a jar of jam
who served them as a nest
