Song 1 Transcription:
Lorsque Philis trahit mon esperance
c’est vous aimable Iris qui séchates mes pleurs,
mon triste cœur après son inconstance
trouva dons votre amour la fin de ses malheurs.
Je suis content vous m’avez vengé d’elle
je goute en vous aimant un sort cent fois plus doux
mais si vous m’êtes infidelle
qui pourra me venger de vous
qui pourra me venger de vous
qui pourra me venger me venger de vous?
Song 2 Transcription:
I
Une egale tendrésse
va combler nos desirs
amour confond sans cesse
nos cœurs et nos soupirs.
enflâme nôtre âme
dans le sein des plaisirs:
enflâme nôtre âme
dans le sein des plaisirs.
II
Non, non, le bien Suprême
N’est pas dans la grandeur;
On le doit à soi même,
Il est dans nôtre cœur.
Tu m’aimes, je t’aime,
Voilà le vrai bonheur.
