by Charles, Duc d'Orléans (1394 - 1465)

Chanson du duc Charles d'Orléans
 (Sung text for setting by N. Reber)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
Je ne prise point tels baisers 
Qui sont donnés par contenance, 
Où par manière d'accointance ;
Trop de gens en sont prisonniers.

On en peut avoir par milliers,
A bon marché, grand'abondance. 
Je ne prise point tels baisers
Qui sont donnés par contenance.

Mais savez-vous lesquels sont chers 
Les prisés venant par plaisance ;
Tous autres ne sont, sans doutance,
Que pour fêter étrangers. 
Je ne prise point tels baisiers.
Version with
