1 Never on earth were there lovers
More blind than me in all ages
But it must be said that I keep your eyes out
Looking too closely at her bodice...
R A 'pretty' flower in a cow's skin
A 'pretty' cow in disguise e in bloom
Who looks beautiful and who attaches you
Then, who leads you by the end of the heart...
2 The sky had provided him with a thousand attractions
br/>Which make you catch fire as soon as you touch it
Had it so much that I didn't know
Didn't know where to put it with my mouth...
3 She didn't have a head, she didn't have a mind much bigger than a thimble
But for love we don't ask
To daughters for inventing powder...
4 Then one day she took the key to the fields
Leaving a fatal ailment in my soul
And all the herbs of Saint-Jean
Could not cure me of this plague...
5 I was very angry with him but, at present,
I have no more hard feelings and my heart forgives him
For having set my heart on fire and blood
So that it can no longer be of use to anyone...
... Then , which leads you through the heart.
