by Antoine Girard de Saint-Amant (1594 - 1661)

J'aime une brune dont les yeux font dire...
Language: French (Français) 
J'aime une brune dont les yeux font dire à tout le monde
Que quand Phoebus quitte les cieux 
Pour se cacher sous l'onde
C'est de regret de se voir sur monte
Du vif échat de leur beauté.
Mon luth, mon humeur, et mes vers
Ont enchanté son âme
Tous ses sentiments sont ouverts
A l'amoureuse en flamme
Elle m'adore et dis que ses désirs
Ne vivent, que pour mes plaisirs.
