Lyrics

Deux ou trois libellules en vol troublaient Lucille
Sur le chemin de son cole, en pleine ville
«Ces libellules en ville sont folles» se dit Lucille
Qui les attrape avec un fil et puis s’envole
Deux ou trois libellules en vol portaient Lucille
Deux ou trois hirondelles en file suivaient leur vol
Elles sont arrives sur une le, si loin de son cole
Que les lumires de la ville sont des lucioles
Les libellules disaient «Lucille, notre cole
Vois, c’est facile, tu bats des cils et tu t’envoles…»
Comme elles prononaient ces paroles, au mme instant Lucille
Entendit au loin dans la ville sonner l’cole
Deux ou trois libellules en vol suivaient Lucille
Sur le chemin de son cole, en pleine ville
Pressant le pas, souple et gracile, Lucille frlait le sol
Battant des cils d’un air tranquille, vers son cole.

Lyrics translation

Two or three dragonflies in flight troubled Lucille
On the way to his school, in the middle of the city
"These dragonflies in town are crazy," Lucille says
Who catches them with a thread and then flies away
Two or three dragonflies in flight carried Lucille
Two or three swallows in a row followed their flight
They arrived on a le, so far from his school
That the lights of the city are fireflies
The dragonflies said, " Lucille, our cole
See, it's easy, you beat eyelashes and you fly away…»
As they uttered these words, at Mrs. moment Lucille
Heard in the distance in the city sound the cole
Two or three dragonflies in flight followed Lucille
On the way to his school, in the middle of the city
Pressing the step, flexible and slender, Lucille shuddered the ground
Beating eyelashes in a quiet air, towards her cole.
