À la claire fontaine. *A French-Canadian folk song.
At the clear fountain*
At the clear fountain,*
while going for a walk*
I found the water so beautiful*
that I bathed in it.*
I've been loving you for a long time,*
I'll never forget you !
I lay down to dry
Under the leaves of an oak.
On the topmost branch*
A nightingale was singing.*
I've been loving you for a long time,*
I'll never forget you !*
Sing, o nightingale, sing,
your heart is merry,*
your heart wants to laugh,*
mine wants to cry.*
I've been loving you for a long time,*
I'll never forget you !*
I lost my lover without deserving it*
for a posy of roses that I reject to him.*
I've been loving you for a long time,*
I'll never
