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.

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.
