a la claire fontaine acoustic cover painted veil

UPDATE (April 2008): bonjour! a lot of people are leaving kind words then asking for tabs and such, so here's my way of giving back to you. I don't write out tabs, but what i do is arpeggiate (pluck each string one by one) chords, and PICK IT UP BY EAR. Just watch my fingers for the chords changes. Good luck! CHORDS: D,D7,Bm,A

révisez : faites s'il vous plaît des remarques et/ou le taux donc je peux voir comment je fais! aussi, grâce à chacun qui a quitté de tels mots gentils! beaucoup apprécié!

LYRICS:

À la claire fontaine
(French)

À la claire fontaine,
M'en allant promener
J'ai trouvé l'eau si belle
Que je m'y suis baigné

Refrain :
Il y a longtemps que je t'aime
Jamais je ne t'oublierai

Sous les feuilles d'un chêne,
Je me suis fait sécher
Sur la plus haute branche,
Un rossignol chantait

Refrain

Chante rossignol, chante,
Toi qui as le cœur gai
Tu as le cœur à rire,
Moi je l'ai à pleurer

Refrain

J'ai perdu mon amie,
Sans l'avoir mérité
Pour un bouquet de roses,
Que je lui refusais

Refrain

Je voudrais que la rose,
Fût encore au rosier
Et que ma douce amie
Fût encore à m'aimer

Refrain
-------------------------------------------

At the Clear Fountain
(English)

At the clear fountain,
While I was strolling by,
I found the water so nice
That I went in to bathe.

Chorus
So long I've been loving you,
I will never forget you.

Under an oak tree,
I dried myself.
On the highest branch,
A nightingale was singing.

Chorus

Sing, nightingale, sing,
Your heart is so happy.
Your heart feels like laughing,
Mine feels like weeping.

Chorus

I lost my beloved,
Without deserving it,
For a bunch of roses,
That I denied her.

Chorus

I wanted the rose
To be still on the bush,
And my sweet beloved
To be still loving me.

Chorus
