2. Au jardin joli [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français)

Au jardin joli 
Il y a des roses, 
Il y a des lis... 
Au jardin joli 
Est-il un fol qui veuille 
Faire la jolie chose. 
Faire la jolie cueille 
  Des roses? 

Au jardin d'amour 
Il y a des lèvres, 
Beau page ou pastour.. 
Au jardin d'amour 
Est-il un loi qui veuille 
Faire le joli rêve, 
Faire la jolie cueille 
  Des lèvres?

3. Il faut bien rire de sa peine [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français)

Il faut bien rire de sa peine. 
  Mon adorée, 
Et faire des chansons de son chagrin ; 
  La vie est pleine 
De ces peines dont personne ne sait rien, 
  Mais qu'y faire ? 
Il faut bien rire de sa peine 
  De peur d'en pleurer. 

Avec un masque de comédie 
J'aurai traversé cette vie 
Le sourire au visage et le cœur en souci ; 
Ah ! je sais bien que c'est folie 
  D'aimer ainsi, 
  Mais qu'y faire ? 
On dit que la vie est brève et légère : 
Hélas ! il faut bien rire de sa peine, 
  Mon adorée, 
De peur d'en pleurer.
