Song 1 Transcription:
Le silence et la paix
régnent dans ce Boccage
j’en trouble le repos
par mes tristes soupirs
et j’y repands des pleurs
et j’y répands des pleurs
tandis que le ramage
des Oiseaux amoureux
annonce leurs plaisirs
et j’y répands des pleurs
tandis que le ramage
des Oiseaux amoureux,
annonce leurs plaisirs [annonce leurs plaisirs]

Uniques confidens
de l’ardeur qui me presse,
hélas! hélas! je ne puis comme vous
exprimer par mes chants
l’excés de ma tendrésse,
hélas! je ne puis comme vous
exprimer par mes chants
l’excès de ma tendrésse;
mais j’ai seul plus d’amour
que vous n’en avez tous
que vous n’en avez tous
mais j’ai seul plus d’amour
que vous n’en avez tous
mais j’ai seul plus d’amour
que vous n’en avez tous
mais j’ai seul plus d’amour
que vous n’en avez tous.
