Mon cœur se reccomande à vous

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: DUT ENG

Mon cœur se reccomande à vous
tout plein d'ennui et de martyre
au moins en dépit des jaloux
faites qu'adieu vous puisse dire.

Ma bouche qui savait sourire
et conter propos gracieux
ne fait maintenant que maudire
ceux qui m'ont banni de vos yeux.

Mijn hart leg ik in jouw handen

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the French (Français)

Mijn hart leg ik in jouw handen
vol verdriet en pijn.
Laat me afscheid van je nemen,
al is het maar om hen die jaloers zijn te ergeren.

Mijn mond die weet van lachen
e n prachtige verhalen vertellen,
doet nu niets anders dan hen vervloeken
die mij uit jouw ogen hebben verdreven.
