Our translations: ENG
Un fiancé sous le balcon de sa fiancée Ne dormez pas, belle endormie. Écoutez la voix de votre bien-aimé. Il pince un rigaudon. Comme il vous aime ! C'est un poète. L'entendez-vous ? Il ricane, peut-être ? Non : il vous adore, douce Belle ! Il repince un rigaudon et un rhume. Vous ne voulez l'aimer ? Pourtant, c'est un poète, un vieux poète !
