Lyrics: Anon

Qui souhaites avoir tout le plaisir
Qu'un ami peut vouloir honnêtement;
Prenez exemple à mon chaste désir
Et vous mirez en mon contentement.
Mais qui voudrait audacieusement
Voler au ciel, où mon amour se tient,
On lui dirait: "Aimez humainement;
C'est au soleil que la lune appartient".

Any of you that wish to taste all the pleasure
That a friend can decently aspire to;
Give heed to my innocent yearning
And you will match my happiness.
But to whoever wants to ascend presumptuously
To that heaven where my love resides,
I would say: "Love considerately;
It is the sun with which the moon is as one".
