by Robert, comte de Montesquiou-Fezensac (1855 - 1921)

Pavane
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG
C'est Lindor! c'est Tircis ! et c'est tous nos vainqueurs !
Cest Myrtil! c'est Lydé ! Les reines de nos coeurs !
Comme ils sont provocants! Comme ils sont fiers toujours !
Comme on ose règner sur nos sorts et nos jours!
Faites attention! Observez la mesure !
Ô la mortelle injure!
La cadence est moins lente! Et la chute plus sûre !
Nous rabattrons bien leur caquets!
Nous serons bientôt leurs laquais!
Qu'ils sont laids! Chers minois !
Qu'ils sont fols! Airs coquets !
Et c'est toujours de même, et c'est ainsi toujours!
On s'adore! on se hait ! On maudit ses amours !
Adieu Myrtil! Eglé ! Chloé ! démons moqueurs!
Adieu donc et bons jours aux tyrans de nos coeurs!
Et bons jours!
