Chante qui voudra les attraits
Language: French (Français) 
Chante qui voudra les attraits 
    De la rose naissante 
Pour moi je suis blessé des traits 
    D'une fleur plus interressante ; 
Celle qui possède mon cœur 
    Qui sans cesse l'agite 
Celle qui possède mon cœur
    C'est la charmante Marguerite. 

Non je ne sais point amoureux
    De l'humble violette
Sous des charmes si langoureux
    Elle renferme une coquette !
Celle qui possède mon cœur 
    Qui sans cesse l'agite 
Celle qui possède mon cœur
    C'est la charmante Marguerite. 

La tulipe a bien des appas
    Elle plait, elle enchante 
Mais elle ne conserve pas 
    Cette simplicité touchante 
Qui pour toujours fixe le cœur
    Qui sans cesse l'agite 
Celle qui possède mon cœur
    C'est la charmante Marguerite.

Quand on offrirait à mes yeux,
    Toute la cour de Flora
Rien ne pourrait changer mes feux
    Et je préférerais encore
Celle qui possède mon cœur 
    Qui sans cesse l'agite 
Celle qui possède mon cœur
    C'est la charmante Marguerite.
