Original text and translations
French text
- Votre âme est un paysage choisi
- Que vont charmants masques et bergamasques,
- Jouant du luth et dansant, et quasi
- Tristes sous leurs déguisements fantasques!
- Tout en chantant sur le mode mineur
- L’amour vainqueur et la vie opportune.
- Ils n’ont pas l’air de croire à leur bonheur,
- Et leur chanson se mêle au clair de lune,
- Au calme clair de lune triste et beau,
- Qui fait rêver, les oiseaux dans les arbres,
- Et sangloter d’extase les jets d’eau,
- Les grands jets d’eau sveltes parmi les marbres.
