Song 1 Transcription:
Le Printems de retour
nous raméne l’amour
ce Dieu dans ce séjour
fixe sa cour
tout dans la nature
S’anime et s’épure
dans un si beau jour:
viens sous ce treillage,
viens voir son image,
Les amoureux oiseaux
brulans de feux nouveaux
les amoureux oiseaux
brulans de feux nouveaux
toujours se baisent ma Lucile
ton cœur restera t’il
tranquille
en les voyant
S’unir sous ces ormeaux
ton coeur restera t’il
tranquille
en les voyant
s’unir sous ces ormeaux
S’unir sous ces ormeaux

Dans leurs charmans loisirs
vois comme leurs desirs
se changent en plaisirs
[Dans leurs charmans loisirs
vois comme leurs desirs
se changent en plaisirs]
hélas! cette touchante yvrésse
ne dit rien à ton cœur!
N’entendras tu jamais
la voix de la tendresse
Ah! dit elle en fuyant
je sens que ma foiblésse
bientôt si je restois
détruiroit ton erreur
ah! dit [elle en fuyant
je sens que ma foiblésse
bientôt si je restois
détruiroit ton erreur]
détruiroit ton erreur.
