Naïs. Opéra pour la paix

Opera by Jean Philippe Rameau (1683 - 1764)

Je ne sais quel ennui me presse
 (Sung text for setting by J. Rameau)
 Matches original text

Language: French (Français) 
Je ne sais quel ennui me presse:  
Est-ce une peine?  est-ce un plaisir?  

Je ne vois plus sans rougir 
Un berger qui me suit sans cesse.  
Il m'inquiète, et m'intéresse; 
Je le crains, je soupire, 
Et je ne puis le fuire: 

Dites-moi d'où nait ma faiblesse; 
Mais gardez-vous de m'en guérir.
