Sur ses larges bras étendus
On his broad outstretched arms
La forêt où s'éveille Flore
The forest where Flora awakens
À des chapelets de pendus
To strings of hanged men
Que le matin caresse et dore
May the morning caress and gild
Ce bois sombre, où le chêne arbore
This dark wood, where the oak sports
Des grappes de fruits inouïs
Unbelievable bunches of fruit
Même chez le Turc et le More
Even among the Turk and the More
C'est le verger du roi Louis
This is King Louis' orchard
Tous ces pauvres gens morfondus
All these poor, moping people
Roulant des pensées qu'on ignore
Rolling thoughts that we ignore
Dans des tourbillons éperdus
In wild whirlwinds
Voltigent, palpitants encore
Fluttering, still thrilling
Le soleil levant les dévore
The rising sun devours them
Regardez-les, cieux éblouis
Look at them, dazzled skies
Danser dans les feux de l'aurore
Dancing in the lights of dawn
C'est le verger du roi Louis
This is King Louis' orchard
Ces pendus, du diable entendus
These hanged men, the devil heard
Appellent des pendus encore
Calling the hanged again
Tandis qu'aux cieux, d'azur tendus
While in the heavens, stretched azure
Où semble luire un météore
Where a meteor seems to shine
La rosée en l'air s'évapore
The dew in the air evaporates
Un essaim d'oiseaux réjouis
A swarm of happy birds
Par-dessus leur tête picore
Over their heads peck
C'est le verger du roi Louis
This is King Louis' orchard
Prince, il est un bois que décore
Prince, it is a wood that decorates
Un tas de pendus enfouis
A pile of buried hanged men
Dans le doux feuillage sonore
In the sweet sounding foliage
C'est le verger du toi Louis
It's the orchard of you Louis
