Si tous les oiseaux [English translation]

If all the birds that sang in May sky

If all those birds could once tell us

All that they've seen, seen and heard

When they alighted on the grown back leaves

On the green mosses, on the empty fields

In the bottom of sunny valleys, by water falls

Thus ambushed, how many love stories they watched starting

If all the birds that sang in May sky

If all those birds could once tell us

Those moments of great delight and those quickly dried tears

Those crumpled dresses that yet an other love ironed

Oh that would be such a hard story to believe

How many stories they could tell us

Mr. Poets, what a high time that would be!

You would just have to listen to them

But all those birds wil never ever talk

They'll take off and leave May sky

Carrying away all our secrets
