Ce n'est plus le poids de ma chaine 
qui me fait pousser des soupirs. 
La seule attente des plaisirs 
fait a present toute ma peine! 

Attends-tu pour payer ma flamme, 
Amour. Que je sois plus epris? 
Tu connais l'ardeur de mon âme, 
En peux-tu retarder le prix?

Lebhaftes Lied
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français) 
Es ist nicht das Gewicht meiner Kette
Das mich seufzen lässt.
Schon die Erwartung der Freuden
Genügt, um mich zu peinigen!

Verzehrst du dich danach meine Flamme zu nähren,
Geliebte. Mich noch verliebter zu machen?
Du weißt wie innig ich mich nach dir sehne,
wie kannst du die Erfüllung herauszögern?
