O ma tendre musette
 (Sung text for setting by J. Weckerlin)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
O ma tendre musette mes amours,
Toi qui chantais Lisette et les beaux jours.

D’une vaine espérance
Tu m’avais trop flatté…
Chante son inconstance
Et ma fidèlité.

C’est l’amour, c’est la flamme
Qui brille dans ses yeux !
Je croyais que son âme
Brûlait des mêmes feux.

Lisette, à son aurore,
Respirait le plaisir;
Hélas ! si jeune encore.
Sait-on déjà trahir?

O ma tendre musette,
Console ma douleur;
Parle-moi de Lisette,
Ce nom fait mon bonheur.

Je la revois plus belle,
Plus belle tous les jours.
Je me plains toujours d’elle.
Et je l’aime toujours !
