À la claire fontaine m'en allant promener
J'ai trouvé l'eau si belle que je m'y suis baignée.
Il y a longtemps que je t'aime, jamais je ne t'oublierai
Sous les feuilles d'un chêne, je me suis fait sécher.
Sur la plus haute branche, un rossignol chantait.
Il y a longtemps que je t'aime, jamais je ne t'oublierai
Chante, rossignol, chante, toi qui as le cœur gai.
Tu as le cœur à rire… moi je l'ai à pleurer.
Il y a longtemps que je t'aime, jamais je ne t'oublierai
“Beautiful arrangement! To say nothing of how well it's sung. I love how at the 1:00 and 2:00 marks, she doesn't go to the obvious resolution. Makes the payoff at the end that much sweeter!”
— Ed Toth, drummer for The Doobie Brothers, in reference to Elise Letourneau's arrangement of "A la claire fontaine" recorded by The Fieldown Singers
