Sous un délicieux ombrage
Language: French (Français)

Récitatif
Sous un délicieux ombrage
Je me promenais l’autre jour;
Des sons nouveaux remplissaient le bocage,
Et ces doux sons inspiraient de l’amour.
Musette
L’aimable Lisette
Forme ces concerts,
Et sur sa musette
Exprime et répète
Les plus tendres airs.
Les grâces naïves,
Près d’elle captives,
Conduisent ses doigts.
Aux sons qu’elle tire;
L’amour, qui l’inspire,
Accords sa voix.
L’aimable Lisette...

Under a lovely shade
Language: English  after the French (Français)
Recitative
Under a lovely shade
I was walking the other day;
New sounds filled the grove,
And those sweet sounds inspired love.
Musette
The amiable Lisette
[Puts on] these concerts,
And on her musette
Expresses and repeats
The most tender airs.
Captive, naive graces
[Which are] near her
Guide her fingers.
With the sounds that she draws [out]
Love, who inspires her,
Tunes his voice.
The amiable Lisette...
Translator's note: During the period, "musette" was used to refer to both the musette de cour, in the bagpipe family, and the oboe musette, a small oboe, and the text could
refer to either one.
