about

Part song by Claude Debussy

lyrics

Yver, vous n’estes qu’un villain;

Winter, you’re just a scoundrel!

Esté est plaisant et gentil

Summer is pleasing and kind


En témoing de may et d’avril
Qui l’accompaignent soir et main.

As witness May and April,
Who accompany it evening and morning.


Esté revet champs, bois et fleurs
De sa livrée de verdure

Summer clothes fields, woods and flowers,
In its livery of green

Et de maintes autres couleurs
Par l’ordonnance de nature.

And of many other colours,
As Nature ordains.


Mais vous, Yver, trop estes plein
De nège, vent, pluye et grézil.

But you, Winter, are too full
Of snow, wind, rain and hail;


On vous deust banir en éxil.

You should be banished into exile,


Sans point flater je parle plein,
Yver, vous n’estes qu’un vilain.

I'll not flatter; I'll hold nothing back:
Winter, you’re just a scoundrel!
