by Jean-François Regnard (1655 - 1709)

Un jour de printemps
Language: French (Français) 
Merlin
      Un jour de printemps,
    Tout le long d'un verger
      Colin va chantant,
    Pour ses maux soulager:
Ma Bergère, laisse-moi, la la la la la, rela, rela;
    Ma Bergère, laisse-moi
      Prendre un tendre baiser.

(Les Masques se prennent par la main, & dansent en chantant:)

Ma Bergère, laisse-moi, la la la la la, &c.

Merlin
      La belle, à l'instant
    Répond à son Berger:
      »Tu veux, en chantant,
    Un baiser dérober ?...2

Une bergère
    Non, Colin, ne le prends pas ;
      La la la la, rela, rela ;
    Non, Colin, ne le prends pas ;
      Je vais te le donner.

Le Chœur
    Non, Colin, ne le prends pas ;
      La la la la, rela, rela ;
    Non, Colin, ne le prends pas ;
      Je vais te le donner.
