Available translation(s): ENG
Viens dans ce bocage, belle Aminte, Sans contrainte, on y forme des vœux. Viens ! Viens dans ce bocage, belle Aminte, Il est fait pour les plaisirs et les jeux. Viens ! Le ramage des oiseaux, Le murmure des eaux, Tout nous engage A choisir ce beau séjour Pour offrir à l'amour Un tendre hommage. À l'ombrage des forêts, Goûtons les biens secrets D'un aimable badinage ; Nous sommes tous deux Dans le bel âge, De nos chaînes resserrons les nœuds ; Vives ardeurs, moments flatteurs, Que vos douceurs à jamais charment nos cœurs.
