Sous le dome epais 
Ou le blanc jasmin 
la rose sÕassemble, 
Sur la rive en fleurs, 
Riant au matin, 
Viens, descendons ensemble. 
Doucement glissons; 
De son flot charmant 
Suivons le courant 
Fuyant; Dans 
LÕonde fremissante. 
DÕune main nonchalante, 
Viens, gagnons le bord 
Ou la souree dort. 
Et lÕoiseau, 
LÕoiseau chante. 
Sous le dome epais, 
Sous le blanc jasmin, 
Ah! descendons ensemble! 

English translation: 

Under a dome of white jasmine 
With the roses entwined together 
On a river bank covered with flowers laughing in the morning 
Gently floating on it's charming risings 
On the river's current 
On the shining waves 
One hand reaches 
Reaches for the bank 
Where the spring sleeps and 
The birds, the birds sing. 
Under a dome of white jasmine 
Ah! calling us 
Together! 
Under a dome of white jasmine 
With the roses entwined together 
On a river bank covered with flowers laughing in the morning 
Let us descend together 
Gently floating on it's charming risings, 
On the river's current 
On the shining waves, 
One hand reaches, 
Reaches for the bank, 
Where the spring sleeps, 
And the birds, the birds sing. 
Under a dome of white jasmine 
Ah! calling us 
Together!
