In a green wood close to our village
A quiet pool lies still and deep
The evening sounds and forest birds
Have gently lulled my love to sleep

Bonsoir dame, madame, fais dodo (go to sleep)
Bonsoir dame, madame, fais dodo
Bonsoir dame, madame, fais dodo
Bonsoir dame, madame, fais dodo

Sing softly birds and don't awake her
She doesn't know how my heart aches
I've never dared to say "I love you"
I'll tell her now, before she wakes

Bonsoir dame, madame, fais dodo
Bonsoir dame, madame, fais dodo
Bonsoir dame, madame, fais dodo
Bonsoir dame, madame, fais dodo

It seems a pity now to wake her
I'd rather stay here and pretend
If we could only stay forever
Then our dreams would never end

Sleep my love and dream as you do
I will love you my whole life through
All my dream's depending on you
For only say that you love me too

(Bonsoir dame), bonsoir dame
(Bonsoir dame), bonsoir dame
(Bonsoir dame), bonsoir dame
Bonsoir dame
Bonsoir dame
Bonsoir dame, madame, fais dodo
