A la claire fontaine
At the clear fountain
M'en allant promener
Going for a walk
J'ai trouvé l'eau si belle
I found the water so beautiful
Que je m'y suis baigné
That I bathed in it
Il y a longtemps que je t'aime
I've loved you for a long time
Jamais je ne t'oublierai
I'll never forget you
Sur la feuille d'un chêne
On the leaf of an oak tree
Je me suis fait sécher
I got myself dried
Sur la plus haute branche
On the highest branch
Un rossignol chantait
A nightingale sang
Il y a longtemps que je t'aime
I've loved you for a long time
Jamais, jamais je ne t'oublierai
I'll never, ever forget you
Chante rossignol, chante
Sings nightingale, sings
Toi qui a le coeur gai
You who have a cheerful heart
Tu as le coeur à rire
You're heartbro and heartbro and fielder
Moi je l'ai à pleurer
I have it to cry
Il y a longtemps que je l'aime
I've loved it for a long time
Jamais je ne l'oublierai
I'll never forget it
J'ai perdu mon amie
I lost my friend
Sans l'avoir mérité
Without having deserved it
Pour un bouquet de roses
For a bouquet of roses
Que je lui refusais
That I refused him
Il y a longtemps que je l'aime
I've loved it for a long time
Jamais je ne l'oublierai
I'll never forget it
Je voudrais que la rose
I would like the rose
Fût encore au rosier
Still with a rose bush
Et que ma douce amie
And that my sweet friend
Fût encore à m'aimer
Still to love me
Il y a longtemps que je l'aime
I've loved it for a long time
Jamais je ne l'oublierai
I'll never forget it
Il y a longtemps que je t'aime
I've loved you for a long time
Jamais, jamais je ne t'oublierai
I'll never, ever forget you
