Why should one listen
Emmanuel Chabrier
Why should one listen
To the birds of the wood?
The most tender bird
Sings in your voice.
Let God reveal or hide
The stars in the sky!
The most pure star
Shines in your eyes.
Let April renew
The flowering garden!
The most lovely flower
Blossoms in your heart.
This bird of passion,
This star of day,
This flower of the soul -
It is called Love!
