Lyrics
A 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.
Sur la feuille 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, 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 l’aime
Jamais je ne l’oublierai.
J’ai perdu mon amie
Sans l’avoir mérité
Pour un bouquet de roses
Que je lui refusais
Il y a longtemps que je l’aime
Jamais je ne l’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 l’aime
Jamais je ne l’oublierai.
Il y a longtemps que je t’aime
Jamais, jamais je ne t’oublierai.
(Merci à virginie pour cettes paroles)
Lyrics translation
A la claire fontaine
Going for a walk
I found the water so beautiful
That I bathed in it
I've loved you for a long time.
I'll never forget you.
On the leaf of an oak
I got dried
On the highest branch
A nightingale was singing
I've loved you for a long time.
I'll never, ever forget you.
Sing Nightingale, sing
You who have a cheerful heart
You have the heart to laugh
I have to cry
I've loved him for a long time.
I'll never forget it.
I lost my friend.
Without having earned it
For a bouquet of roses
That I refused him
I've loved him for a long time.
I'll never forget it.
I wish the rose
Was still at the Rose
And that my sweet friend
Would still love me
I've loved him for a long time.
I'll never forget it.
I've loved you for a long time.
I'll never, ever forget you.
