The cicadas buzz in the sweltering heat!They aren’t to blame! It’s the age of the noisemakers!La Fontaine has long been completely forgotten,As for the ants...They still eat crumbs in the catacombs...

Buzz, oh cicadas, your tralalas,The noisy refrains without notes!It is your time, of magpies and crows,La Fontaine, the ants...They simply cannot catch your rhythm!
