Gregoire - À la claire fontaine

A la claire fontaine
M'en allant promener
J'ai trouvé l' eau si belle
Que je m'y suis baigné
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
Il y a longtemps que je t'aime
Jamais, jamais je ne t'oublierai. Chante rossignol, chante
Toi qui a le coeur gai
Tu as le coeur à rire
Moi je l'ai à pleurerGregoire - À la claire fontaine - http://motolyrics.com/gregoire/a-la-claire-fontaine-lyrics-english-translation.html
Il y a longtemps que je l'aime
Jamais je ne l'oublierai. J'ai perdu mon amie
Sans l'avoir mérité
Pour un bouquet de roses
Que je lui refusais
Il y a longtemps que je l'aime
Jamais je ne l'oublierai. Je voudrais que la rose
Fût encore au rosier
Et que ma douce amie
Fût encore à m'aimer
Il y a longtemps que je l'aime
Jamais je ne l'oublierai. Il y a longtemps que je t'aime
Jamais, jamais je ne t'oublierai.

Gregoire - By the Clear Fountain (English translation)

By the clear fountain,
On my promenade
I found the water so fair
That I stopped there to bathe
I have loved you for a long, long time
Never will I forget you.

Under an oak tree
I dried myself
On its highest branch
A nightingale was singing
I have loved you for a long, long time
Never will I forget you.

Sing, nightingale, sing
You with your carefree heart
Your heart feels like laughing
Mine feels like weepingGregoire - À la claire fontaine - http://motolyrics.com/gregoire/a-la-claire-fontaine-lyrics-english-translation.html
I have loved you for a long, long time
Never will I forget you.

I have lost my dear friend
Without just cause
For a bouquet of roses
That I refused her
I have loved her for a long long time
Never will I forget her.

I would that the rose
Were still on its briar
And that my sweet friend
Still there to love me
I have loved her for a long long time
Never will I forget her

I have loved you for a long long time
Never ever will I forget you.
