Time flees and does not returnLe temps fuit et sans retour
Carries away our tenderness,Emporte nos tendresses,
Far from this happy abodeLoin de cet heureux séjour
Time flees without return.Le temps fuit sans retour.

Embraced zephyrs,Zéphyrs embrasés,
Shower us with your caresses,Versez-nous vos caresses,
Embraced zephyrs,Zéphyrs embrasés,
Give us your kisses!Donnez-nous vos baisers!
Your kisses! Your kisses! Ah!vos baisers! vos baisers! Ah!

Beautiful night, oh night of love,Belle nuit, ô nuit d'amour,
Smile at our intoxication,Souris à nos ivresses,
Night sweeter than the day,Nuit plus douce que le jour,
Oh beautiful night of love!Ô belle nuit d'amour!
Ah! Smile at our intoxication!Ah! Souris à nos ivresses!
Night of love, oh night of love!Nuit d'amour, ô nuit d'amour!
Ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah!Ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah!
