Mes yeux il est temps de pleurer
Language: French (Français)
Chosen for Diff
Mes yeux il est temps de pleurer,
Et vous mon cœur de soupirer,
Le ciel me prepare une absence,
Quand vous serez hors de ces lieux,
Cloris, auray-je puissance
De viure absent de vos beaux yeux ?
Je me veux plaindre a cette fois,
Je veux des Antres et des Bois
Par mes cris troubler le silence,
Quand vous serez hors de ces lieux,
Cloris, auray-je puissance
De viure absent de vos beaux yeux?
O dieux ! que je croyois si doux,
Quelle rigueur exercez vous
Me donnant cette penitence ?
Quand vous serez hors de ces lieux,
Cloris, auray-je puissance
De viure absent de vos beaux yeux ?

My eyes, it is time to cry
Language: English after the French (Français)
Chosen for Diff
My eyes, it is time to cry,
And you, my heart, to sigh,
Heaven prepares me for an absence,
When you are away,
Cloris, will I have the strength
To live without your beautiful eyes?
I want to complain about this time,
I want the silence of the dens and woods
To be disturbed by my cries,
When you are away,
Cloris, will I have the strength
To live without your beautiful eyes?
O gods! that I thought so kind,
How hard did you work
To giving me this sorrow?
When you are away,
Cloris, will I have the strength
To live without your beautiful eyes?
