Song 1 Transcription:
Oui, ma seule envie Jeune Silvie
ma seule envie Jeune Silvie
est d’exprimer l’amour dont tu sçais m’enflamer,
je ne vis plus que pour t’aimer
et t’adorer toute ma vie.
Oui ma seule envie Jeune Silvie
ma seule envie Jeune Silvie
est d’effacer les soupçons qui t’ont pû blesser
et n’ont que trop sçu t’offenser
tu n’aurais jamais du penser
qu’à toi je pusse renoncer,
Tu n’aurais jamais du penser
qu’à toi je pusse renoncer
Mais ne puis-je entendre ta voix si tendre
ne puis-je entendre ta voix si tendre,
me rassurer et tout bas me jurer la plus vive tendresse
le bruit confus de ce souper en liberté nous laisse
ah! ma Silvie ah! ma maitresse
ah! ma Silvie, ah! ma maitresse
cet heureux moment va t’échapper
cet heureux moment va t’échapper.
