Enfant qui bientôt seras jeune fille, Tous les jeunes gens te diront plus tard Que rien n'est brillant comme ton regard, Qui brille. Ils te diront tous que ta tête blonde A plus d'un pourra causer des tourments, Et que tes cheveux sont les plus charmants, Du monde. Moi qui m'y connais, je veux sans attendre, Proclamer que rien n'égale en douceur La naïveté de ton petit cœur, Si tendre.

Girl who will soon be a young woman, All the young men will tell you later That nothing is as bright as your gaze that sparkles. They will tell you that your blonde head Will cause torments to more than one, And that your hair is the most charming in the world. Knowing this already, I wish without delay to declare that nothing equals in softness the artlessness of your dear heart, so tender.
