Deux nocturnes françois à deux voix et une tyrolienne

by Edmée Sophie Garre (1775 - 1819), as Sophie Gail

1. Les Langueurs
 (Sung text)

Subtitle: Nocturne à 2 voix

Language: French (Français) 
Des langueurs où l’amour me jette,
Loin que je cherche à me sauver,
Je chèris ma peine secrète,
Tout mon bonheur est d’y rèver.

En effet, l’ennui d’un cœur tendre
Est un mal si doux à garder,
Que si l’on pouvait le céder,
M’en laisser prendre, point ne voudrais.

3. Celui qui sut toucher mon cœur
 (Sung text)

Subtitle: Tyrolienne

Language: French (Français) 
Celui qui sut toucher mon cœur,
Jurait d’aimer toute la vie,
Mais, hélas! c’était un trompeur,
Celui qui sut toucher mon cœur.

II se plaignait de ma rigueur,
Moi, je pleure sa perfidie,
Et ce temps ou, pour mon bonheur,
Il se plaignait de ma rigueur. 

S’il abjurait cruelle erreur?
S’il revenait a son amie?
Ah! toujours il serait vainqueur,
S’il abjurait cruelle erreur!
