Paroles et traduction Léo Delibes feat. Dame Joan Sutherland & Richard Bonynge - Le rossignol

Le rossignol

Écoutez la chanson
Du rossignol volage,
Aux bergers du village.
Il donne la leçon, écoutez!
Ah! Écoutez la chanson!
Chantons, chantons l'amour.

Tant que le printemps dure,
Chantons, chantons l'amour.
Tant que le printemps dure,
Sous la jeune verdure
Et la nuit et le jour,
Chantons, chantons l'amour.
Et la nuit et le jour,
Chantons, chantons l'amour.

Il revient tous les ans,
Dit une pastourelle,
Car la rose nouvelle.
Renaît chaque printemps.
Il revient tous les ans.
Il revient tous les ans.
Ah! Non, non... l'amour ne revient pas.

Pastourelle frivole.
L'amour ne revient pas,
Ô pastourelle frivole.
Dès que l'amour s'envole,
C'est pour toujours, hélas!
L'amour ne revient pas,
L'amour ne revient pas,
L'amour ne revient pas,
L'amour l'amour l'amour ne revient pas.

The Nightingale

Listen to the song
Of the fickle nightingale,
To the shepherds of the village.
He gives the lesson, listen!
Ah! Listen to the song!
Let's sing, let's sing about love.

As long as spring lasts,
Let's sing, let's sing about love.
As long as spring lasts,
Under the young greenery
And night and day,
Let's sing, let's sing about love.
And night and day,
Let's sing, let's sing about love.

He comes back every year,
Says a shepherdess,
For the new rose.
Reborn every spring.
He comes back every year.
He comes back every year.
Ah! No, no... love does not come back.

Frivolous shepherdess.
Love does not come back,
O frivolous shepherdess.
As soon as love takes flight,
It's forever, alas!
Love does not come back,
Love does not come back,
Love does not come back,
Love love love does not come back.
