Oh! mon cœur se brise
 (Sung text for setting by B. Fairchild)
 Matches original text
Language: French (Français)  after the Persian (Farsi) 
Oh ! mon cœur se brise, prévenez-en ma mie. 
Alerte ! ô mes amis ! faites-le pour l'amour 
de mon âme, pour l'amour de la vôtre. 

Personne, ici-bas, n'a échappé au mal 
que font vos beaux yeux de narcisse ! 
Oh ! ne vaudrait-il pas mieux qu'ils ne montrassent 
jamais leur amoureuse langueur à ceux 
qui sont ivres de votre amour ?
