Six Chansonnettes de Baïf (en vers métriques)

by Paul Ladmirault (1877 - 1944)

1. Vous me tuez  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Vous me tuez si doucement
Avecque tourmens tant bénins
Que ne sais chose de douceur
Plus douce que'est ma douce mort.
S'il faut mourir, mourons d'amour.

Si glorieux je suis d'aimer
Et tant satisfait, tant heureux
Que je prise un de mes ennuis
Cent mille biens d'une autre main.
S'il faut mourir,  mourons d'amour.

Puisque si doucement je meurs
Avecque tourmens tant bénins
Je ne cherche aucune douceur
Plus douce qu'est [une]1 douce mort.
S'il faut mourir, mourons d'amour.
