La pauvre Adèle
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ITA
Dites-moi pastourelle,
Quel est ce vieux château
Dont la sombre tourelle
Domine le hameau?
C’est celui d’une belle
En proie à la douleur,
Car pour la pauvre Adèle
Il n’est plus de bonheur.

Dites-moi pastourelle,
A-t-on trahi sa foi?
Las! Son amant fidèle
Est mort servant son Roi:
Cette affreuse nouvelle
A dechiré son coeur,
Et pout la pauvre Adèle
Il n’est plus de bonheur.

Épris de son image,
Touché de son chagrin,
Prince de haut parage
A demandé sa main;
Hélas! lui répont-elle,
Vous m’honorez, Seigneur,
Mais pour la pauvre Adèle
Il n’est plus de bonheur.

Quand notre âme est blessée
D’un trait si douloureux,
Une triste pensée
Convient seule à nos voeux:
Il faut vivre avec elle,
Ou mourir de douleur,
Et pour la pauvre Adèle
Il n’est plus de bonheur.
