Song 1 Transcription:
Dors, dors, dors, dors,
goûte les douceurs
les douceurs du repos,
dors, dors, dors, dors,
Someille en paix
someille en paix,
ma chere Annette
Helas! c’est pour moi seul
que sont faits tous les maux,
ma triste Musette
sans cesse répette,
des Airs douloureux,
langage ennuyeux
des malheureux.
Song 2 Transcription:
Oui, c’en est fait, je me dégage,
je ne veux plus soupirer;
aprés un si dur esclavage,
mon cœur tu vas respirer,
mon cœur tu vas respirer.
Il faut quitter la cruelle
qui ne fit que te tromper,
toi qui n’aimas jamais qu’elle,
pourras-tu ne plus l’aimer?
Oui c’en est fait &c
