Song 1 Transcription:
Perfide Mer, ton rivage est une image
de l’indigne objet de mon amour;
Souvent, comme elle dangereuse,
ton onde trompeuse
nous séduit chaque jour;
Et nous perd bientôt sans retour
et nous perd Sans retour.
Le Calme de tes flots
trompant les matelots,
sur ton sein les attire:
C’est ainsi qu’entrainés
sur les pas de Thémire.
Ses sons flatteurs,
ses yeux vainqueurs,
savent charmer nos cœurs
ses sons flatteurs
ses yeux vainquers,
Savent charmer nos cœurs.
Perfi &c.
Ce beau Ciel,
maintenant sans nuage,
dans un instant est souvent
noirci par l’orage:
ainsi cet objet charmant
se plait dans le changement;
Son cœur, aussi promptement,
fuit pour jamais son amant.
helas! Comment ai-je pu l’aimer un moment?
ai-je pu l’aimer un moment?
Perfide &c.
