Rossignols vous chantez les douceurs du printems,
Le tendre amour qui vous anime,
Par vos aimables sons s'exprime,
Et les rend encor plus charmans.
Mon coeur hélas est aussy la victime
Du Dieu que célébrent vos chans.
Mais pour moy ce seroit un crime
De laisser éclatter les feux que je ressens.
Chantez les douceurs du printems,
Heureux oiseaux, l'amour qui vous anime
Par vos aimables sons s'exprime,
Et les rend encor plus charmans.
Nightingales you sing of the sweetness of the
spring,
the tender love that animates you,
expresses itself in your sweet sounds,
and makes them even more charming.
My heart, alas, has also fallen victim
of that God whom you celebrate in song.
For me it would be a crime
to give expression to the fires of passion I am feeling.
Sing again of the sweetness of spring,
happy birds, Love animates you
and is expressed in every lovely sound you make,
and makes each note more charming.
