Cependant que ce beau mois dure
Language: French (Français)
Cependant que ce beau mois dure,
Mignonne, allons sur la verdure,
Ne laissons perdre en vain le temps;
L'âge glissant qui ne s'arrête,
Mêlant le poil de notre tête,
S'enfuit ainsi que le printemps.
Donc, cependant que notre vie
Et le temps d'aimer nous convie,
Aimons, moissonnons nos désirs,
Passons l'amour de veine en veine;
Incontinent la mort prochaine
Viendra dérober nos plaisirs.

Ode, in Anacreon's style
Language: English after the French (Français)
As long as this lovely month lasts
My darling, let's walk on the grass,
Let's not waste our time in vain:
Age, slipping up on us and never stopping
Greying the hair of our heads
Flies by like the spring.
So as long as our lives
And the time for loving urge us,
Let's love, let's reap the harvest of our desires,
Let's pass our love from vein to vein.
Hasty death will soon
Come to steal away our pleasures.
