by Jean Pierre Claris de Florian (1755 - 1794)

Adieu, bergère chérie
Language: French (Français) 
Adieu, bergère chérie,
Adieu mes seules amours ;
Je vais quitter la prairie
Où tu venois tous les jours.

Exilé sur l'autre rive,
J'y parlerai de ma foi ;
Mais, hélas ! ma voix plaintive 
Ne viendra plus jusqu'à toi.

Ne pleure pas, mon amie ;
J'ai peu de terns à souffrir :
Tout mal cesse avec la vie,
Et qui te fuit, va mourir.
