Il se cache dans ta grâce
Un doux ensorcellement.

Pour leur joie et leur tourment
Sur les coeurs tu fais main basse.
Tous sont pris. Nul ne se lasse
De ce servage charmant.
Il se cache dans ta grâce
Un doux ensorcellement.

C'est l'affaire d'un moment,
Ton regard qui sur nous passe
Est le filet qui ramasse
Nos âmes; dieu sait comment!
Il se cache dans ta grâce
Un doux ensorcellement.

Rondeau

Language: English after the French (Français)

It hides in your grace:
A sweet enchantment.
For their joy and their torment
You steal their hearts.

All are captivated. No one tires
Of this charming servitude.
It hides in your grace:
A sweet enchantment.

It takes place in a single moment,
Your glance passing over us
It’s the net that ensnares
Our souls; God knows how!
It hides in your grace:
A sweet enchantment.

Translator's note: a rondeau is a poetic form of fourteen lines, in which the first two lines of the opening quartrain recur at the end of the two following stanzas.
