Air léger
Language: French (Français)
Tu te plais, enfant de Cythere.
A faire acheter tes douceurs,
L'amant que tu veux satisfaire.
N'est point exempt de tes rigueurs!
Pour etre heureux dans ton empire,
Il faut qu'il en coute des pleurs.
Plus unfidele amant soupire,
Mieux il connait le prix de tes faveurs.

Unbeschwertes Lied
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Gefällt es dir, Kind der Aphrodite (Liebesgöttin).
Deinen Geliebten dazu zu bewegen
Deine Köstlichkeiten teuer zu bezahlen?
Du genießest wohl deine Macht!
In deinem Königreich glücklich zu sein,
kostet scheinbar Tränen.
So sehr auch der ungetreue Geliebte seufzet,
so kennt er doch nur zu gut den Preis deiner Gunst.
