Que me sert-il auretour du printems
de voir la nature brillante
de voir la nature brillante
si l’ingrate si l’ingrate Amarante

les maux que je sens

mes chers moutons folatrés
dans la plaine goutés
les plaisirs les plus doux
mes chers moutons goutés
les plaisirs les plus doux
hélas! hélas! je suis né pour la peine,
et les plaisirs sont faits pour vous
hélas! je suis né pour la peine,
et les plaisirs
et les plaisirs sont faits pour vous
et les plaisirs sont faits pour vous.
