by Amadis Jamin (c1538 - 1593)

Doux rossignol, c'est toi !
Language: French (Français) 
Doux rossignol, c'est toi. Combien de fois
t'ai-je pas écouté sous l'ombreuse ramée !
Je reconnais encor ta plainte accoutumée,
et les tendres accents de la fidèle voix.

Doux rossignol, c'est encor toi !
Mais tel que l'an passé, hélas ! tu ne me vois :
Une beauté cruelle, au mépris obstinée,
a fui, me laissant à ma triste destinée ;
et je redis son nom à l'écho de ces bois.

Doux rossignol, c'est toi ! Combien de fois
vais je encor t'écouter sous l'ombreuse ramée !
Je comprends maintenant ta plainte accoutumée,
et les tendres accents de ta fidèle voix.
