Lyrics

4. Dôme Épais - Lyrics French:
Sous le dôme épais où le blanc jasmin à la rose s’assemble,
Underneath the dense dome where the white jasmine reunites with the roses,
Sur la rive en fleurs, frais matin, (riant au matin),
Nous appelent ensemble (Viens, descendons ensemble).
The flowering bank, laughing, in the fresh morning,
calls us together. (Come let’s go down together)
Ah! Glissons en suivant le courant fuyant dans l’onde frémissante
(Doucement glissons de son flot charmant suivons le courant fuyant:)
Ah! Let us glide with the everflowing current in the shimmering waves.
(Carefully we glide following the lovely flow of the rushing waters)
D’une main nonchalante, gagnons le bord, oú l’oiseau chante,
(Oú la source dort) (Viens, gagnons le bord)
Before we know it, we’ll be at the spot where the birds are singing.
(Where the source of the stream sleeps. ) (Come, let’s go to the shore)
Dôme épais, blanc jasmin, nous appelent  ensemble!
Shady dome, white jasmine, is calling us together!
Sous le dôme épais, Sous le blanc jasmin-Ah-
Underneath the shady dome, beneath the white jasmine-Ah-
Descendons ensemble!
Let’s go down together!
