Vrai Dieu, qui m'y confortera
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Vrai Dieu, qui m'y confortera 
Quand ce faux jaloux me tiendra 
En sa chambre seule enfermée ? 
Mon père m'a donné un vieillard 
Qui tout le jour crie : 
Hélas ! Hélas ! Hélas ! 
Et dort au long de la nuitée. 

Il me faut un vert galant 
Qui fût de l'âge de trente ans 
Et qui dormit la matinée. 
Rossignolet du bois plaisant, 
Pourquoi me va ainsi chantant, 
Puisqu'au vieillard suis mariée ? 

Ami tu sois le bienvenu ; 
Longtemps a que t'ai attendu 
Au joli bois, sous la ramée.
