Ô joie de mon âme, Joie de mon coeur, Trésor qui m'est si cher ; Joie de l'âme et du cœur, Toi que j'aime ardemment, Tu es plus beau qu'un ange. Ô lorsque tu parais, Ange si doux Devant nos yeux, Comme un bel ange blond, Sous le clair soleil, Hélas ! tous nos pauvres cœurs soupirent !

Oh, alegría de mi alma, alegría de mi corazón Caro tesoro mío; Alegría del alma y del corazón Tú, a quien amo ardientemente, Eres más bellas que un ángel. Oh, cuando tú apareces, ángel tan dulce, Ante nuestros ojos, Como un bello ángel rubio, Bajo el claro sol, ¡Ay, todos nuestros pobres corazones suspiran!
