Lyrics: Anon

Vivre ne puis content sans sa présence,
Mourir m'est doux si je n'avais l'espoir,
De prompt retour et que loyal devoir
De mon amour lui en fit connaissance.

I can't exist happily without her here;
Death is sweet, if I have no hope
Of a speedy reunion, or that
She might recognise loyal service in my love.
