Pauvre Jeanette
Language: French (Français)
Pauvre Jeanette, Qui chantoit si bien, Lalirette, Triste et seulette, Tu ne dis plus rien. Las ! je soupire Loin de mon ami : Ne sais rien dire À d'autres que lui. Jeune fillette, Ne peux-tu changer ? Lalirette : Crois-moi, Jeanette, Choisis un berger. Le roi lui-même Auroit un refus ; Du jour qu'on aime On ne choisit plus.
