Cependant que ce beau mois dure

Our translations: ENG
Cependant que ce beau mois dure, Mignonne, allons sur la verdure, Ne laissons perdre en vain le temps; L'âge glissant qui ne s'arrête, Mêlant le poil de notre tête, S'enfuit ainsi que le printemps. Donc, cependant que notre vie Et le temps d'aimer nous convie, Aimons, moissonnons nos désirs, Passons l'amour de veine en veine; Incontinent la mort prochaine Viendra dérober nos plaisirs.
