## The words

Le ciel est, par dessus le toit,  
Si bleu, si calme! Un arbre, pardessus le  
toit Berce sa palme. La cloche,  
dans le ciel qu’on voit Doucement tinte.  
Un oiseau sur l’arbre qu’on voit Chante sa  
plainte,  
chante sa plainte.  
Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, la vie est là,  
Simple et tranquille. Cette paisible  
rumeurlà Vient de la ville.  
Qu’astu fait, ô toi que voilà Pleurant sans  
cesse,  
Dis, qu’astu fait, toi que voilà,  
De ta jeunesse,  
De ta jeunesse?
