Lyrics: Anon

Au premier jour du joli mois de mai,
Tout vert tout gai pendant que le temps dure,
Allons ma sœeur au champs sur la verdure,
Rire, chanter, danser, planter le mai.

On the first day of the lovely month of May,
All green and all gay, while the day is lasts;
Sister, let us go on the greensward, in the meadows,
To laugh, sing, dance and plant the mayflower.
