Dites, que faut‑il faire ?
Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: ENG
Dites, que faut-il faire Pour rendre un coeur constant? Que de moyens de plaire! Rien ne varie autant! Comment s’y prendre et que dire? Faut-il risquer un malin sourire? Faut-il se taire et baisser les yeux? Pour obtenir qu’on l’aime, Chacune a son système, N’aimer pas voilà le mieux. Dites, que faut-il faire Pour rendre un coeur constant? Que de moyens de plaire! Rien ne varie autant! Point de mystère. Ce qu’il faut faire Pour séduire et plaire, ce qu’il faut faire pour charmer, C’est de ne pas aimer. Le seul moyen de plaire, C’est de ne pas aimer, Oui, lorsqu’on veut plaire, Il ne faut pas aimer. Par un malin sonrire, Par un doux regard on peut séduire; Mais pour plaire et pour charmer, oui gardezvous d’aimer, gardezvous d’aimer.
