Ô mon pauvre cœur ! puisque ton sort est...
Language: French (Français)  after the Persian (Farsi) 
Ô mon pauvre cœur ! puisque ton sort est d'être meurtri jusqu'au sang par le chagrin, 
puisque ta nature veut que tu sois chaque jour accablé d'un nouveau tourment,
alors, ô âme ! dis-moi ce que tu es venue faire dans mon corps, 
dis, puisque tu dois enfin le quitter un jour ?
