Revecy Venir du Printans

One of my all time favorite songs. Enjoy!


Revecy venir du Printans.
L'amoureuz' et belle saizon.

Le courant des eaus recherchant,
Le canal d'été s'éclaircît:
Et lamer calme de ces flots,
Amolit le triste courrous:
Le Canard s'égay' se plonjant,
Et se lave coint dedans l'eau
Et la grû' qui fourche son voi,
Retraverse l'air et s'en va.

(Refrain)

Le Soleil éclaire luizant,
D'une plus sereine clairté:
Du nuage l'ombre s'enfuit,
Qui se ioû' et court et noircît
Et foretz et champs et coutaus,
Le labeur humain reverdît,
Et la prê' decouvre ses fleurs.

(Refrain)

De Venus le filz cupidon,
L'univers semant de ses trais,
De sa flamme va réchaufér.
Animaus, qui volet en l'air,
Animaus, qui rampet au chams
Animaus, qui naget auz eaus.
Ce qui mesmement ne sent pas,
Amoureux se fond de plaizir.

(Refrain)

Rion aussi nous: et cherchon
Les ébas et ieus du Printans
Toute chose rit de plaizir:
Sélebron la gaye saizon,

(Refrain)

Here again comes the Spring,
the amorous and fair season.

Here again comes the Spring,
the amorous and fair season.

The currents of water that seek
the canal in summer become clearer;
and the calm sea the waves'
sad anger soothes.
The duck, elated, dives
and washes itself quietly in the water.
And the crane that branches off in flight
recrosses the air and flies away.

Here again comes the Spring,
the amorous season.

The sun shines brightly
with a calmer light.
The shadow of the cloud vanishes
from him who sports and runs and darkens.
Forests and fields and slpes
human labor makes green again,
and the prairie unveils its flowers.

Here again comes the Spring,
the amorous and fair season.

Cupid, the son of Venus
seeding the universe with his arrows,
with his flame he will rekindle
animals that fly in the air,
animals that crawl in the fields,
animals that swim in the seas.
Even those that feel not,
in love they melt in pleasure.

Here again comes the Spring,
the amorous and fair season.

Let us, too, laugh and let us seek
the sports and games of Spring:
everything smiles with pleasure;
let us celebrate the merry season,

Here again comes the Spring,
the amorous and fair season.

Here again comes the Spring,
the amorous and fair season.
