Translation of the song lyrics Delibes: Le rossignol - Joan Sutherland, Richard Bonynge, Лео Делиб

Delibes: Le rossignol (original)

Écoutez la chanson
Du rossignol volage
Aux bergers du village
Il donne la leçon, écoutez!
Ah!
Écoutez la chanson!
Chantons, chantons l’amour
Tant que le printemps dure
Chantons, chantons l’amour
Tant que le printemps dure
Sous la jeune verdure
Et la nuit et le jour
Chantons, chantons l’amour
Il revient tous les ans
Dit une pastourelle
Car la rose nouvelle
Renaît chaque printemps
Il revient tous les ans
Ah !
Non, non… l’amour ne revient pas
Pastourelle frivole
L’amour ne revient pas
Ô pastourelle frivole
Dès que l’amour s’envole
C’est pour toujours, hélas!
L’amour ne revient pas

Delibes: Le rossignol (translation)

Listen to the song
Flighty nightingale
To the shepherds of the village
He teaches the lesson, listen!
Ah!
Listen to the song!
Let's sing, let's sing of love
As long as spring lasts
Let's sing, let's sing of love
As long as spring lasts
Under young greenery
And night and day
Let's sing, let's sing of love
He comes back every year
Said a pastorelle
Because the new rose
Reborn every spring
He comes back every year
Ah!
No, no... love doesn't come back
frivolous shepherd
Love doesn't come back
O frivolous pastorelle
As soon as love flies away
It is forever, alas!
Love doesn't come back
