Song 1 Transcription:
Sur l’œillet et sur le Jasmin
sur la Rose qui vient d’éclore,
l’abeille va dès le matin
baiser les larmes de l’aurore
l’abeille va dès le matin
baiser les larmes de l’aurore,
baiser les larmes de l’aurore

Iris que je serais heureux
si je pouvais la prendre pour modéle
si
si je
vous seriés la fleur nouvelle
où j’irais chaque jour
plus tendre et plus fidéle
cuëillir à tous momens
cent baisers amoureux
vous seriés la fleur nouvelle
où j’irais chaque jour
plus tendre et plus fidéle
cuëillir à tous momens
cent baisers amoureux.

Song 2 Transcription:
On croit par tout que je vous aime
en vain je m’en deffens
on dit qu’on le sçai bien
on [croit par tout que je vous aime]
en [vain je m’en deffens]
on dit qu’on le sçait bien
on [dit qu’on le sçait bien]
mais pour vous jeune Iris
il n’en est pas de même,
il [n’en est pas de même]
je vous le dis sans cesse
et vous n’en croyes rien
je [vous le dis sans cesse
et vous n’en croyes rien]
