Lyrics

Lyrics (Anonymous)Poetic Translation
Le content est riche en ce mondeA happy person's life is wealthy
Et bien heureux en ce temps ci.In the delight to live and learn.
À cœur joyeux, liberté, monde,With merry heart, he's free and healthy;
vivre chez soi hors de souci.He dwells at home, lacking concern.
Être amoureux non point transi.So be in love but not lovesick,
Et à tous deuil clore les yeux.And close your eyes to pain and tears.
Toujours, gaillards, faites ainsiMy friends take care; no troubles pick,
Et vous vivrez cent ans et mieux.And you will live a hundred years.
AnonymousCarol Anne Perry Lagemann
