Aime‑moi

Language: French (Français) after the Spanish (Español)

Available translation(s): ENG

Tu commandes qu'on t'oublie,
J'ai grand peine à t'obéir;
Mais ainsi le veut ma mie,
Son désir est mon désir.
Vraiment, mon désir,
Lorsque joyeux je m'élance,
Tu rougis et veux me fuir;
Mon amour est une offense,
Pourquoi donc t'en souvenir?
Mais quoi! des pleurs, ma belle;
Ecoute, apaise-toi;
Plus de folle querelle,
Je t'adore, aime-moi.

Tu commandes qu'on t'oublie [etc.]
...
Mais quoi! tu pleures ma belle
Sois clémente, apaise-toi,
Plus d'inutile querelle,
Je t'adore; Sois à moi!
