Aime moi, bergère
Language: French (Français)
Aime moi, bergère,
Et je t'aimerai ;
Ne sois point légère,
Je ne le serai :
Ah ! que l'amour est gai
Le joli mois de mai.
Mon cœur et ma vie
Je te donnerai,
Jamais d'autre amie
Je ne servirai.
Ah ! Que l'amour est gai
Le joli mois de mai.

Language: English after the French (Français)
Will you love me, pretty one
As I love thee?
I'll be true and loving
If you're true to me.
Ah! love is sweet and gay,
The pretty month of May!
Now my own, my dearest,
You have all my heart;
We will love forever,
Nevermore to part.
Ah! love is sweet and gay,
The pretty month of May!
