Quand je fus pris au pavillon
 (Sung text for setting by R. Hahn)

Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Quand je fus pris au pavillon
De ma dame, très gente et belle,
Je me brûlai à la chandelle,
Ainsi que fait le papillon :
   Je rougis comme vermillon,
A la clarté d'une étincelle,
Quand je fus pris au pavillon
De ma dame très gente et belle.
   Si j'eusse été esmerillon
Ou que j'eusse eu aussi bonne aile,
Je me fusse gardé de celle
Qui me bailla de l'aiguillon
Quand je fus pris au pavillon.
