Ye withered leaves ! Ye withered leaves !
How the wind is blowing you away !
O ye uncles,
Give us the first note, and we will join in with you.
Ye withered leaves ! Ye withered leaves !
How the wind is carrying you away !
O ye uncles,
Give us the first note, and we will complete [the song].
Legge 85
Feuilles flétries ! feuilles flétries !
le vent vient à souffler sur vous !
Allons, messieurs ! allons, messieurs !
chantez ! nous nous joindrons à vous !
Feuilles flétries ! feuilles flétries !
le vent vient à souffler sur vous !
Allons, messieurs ! allons, messieurs !
chantez ! et puis nous après vous !
