Song 1 Transcription:
Licidas et Lucille
s’aimoient depuis longtems
une mere indocile
génoit leurs sentimens
à peine ils se voyoient quelques heureux momens
il fallait se contraindre
sans cesse déguiser
leurs tendres mouvemens
et renfermer
leurs peines sans se plaindre
la sévere maman
préferoit Cidaman,
Vieux, mais riche imbécille
c’est l’argent qui fait le bonheur
hélas! sans lui la vie est un malheur
toujours disait-elle à Lucille
n’écoutés jamais votre cœur
c’est cœur
mais touché de leurs larmes
le papa s’attendrit
pour cesser leurs allarmes
bientot il les unit
l’hymen vint de ses nœuds
récompenser leurs feux
et leur constance;
Livrés à leurs desirs
pour eux
tout fut plaisirs
et jouissance
et l’on vit chaque jour
redoubler leur amour
et l’on vit chaque jour
redoubler leur amour.
