On voit tout le temps, en automne, | You see it all the time in the fall, |
Quelque chose qui vous étonne, | Something that surprises you, |
C’est une branche, tout à coup, | It’s a branch, all of a sudden, |
Qui s’effeuille dans votre cou.C’est un petit arbre tout rouge, | That blossoms on your neck.It is a small red tree, |
Un, d’une autre couleur encor, | One, of another color again, |
Et puis, partout, ces feuilles d’or | And then, everywhere, these golden leaves |
Qui tombent sans que rien ne bouge.Nous aimons bien cette saison, | That fall without anything moving.We like this season, |
Mais la nuit si tôt va descendre ! | But the night will come so soon! |
Retournons vite à la maison | Let us return quickly to the house |
Rôtir nos marrons dans la cendre | To roast our chestnuts in the ashes. |
