## The words

Les donneurs de sérénades Et les belles  
écouteuses Echangent des propos fades  
Sous les ramures chanteuses. C’est Tircis  
et c’est Aminte, Et c’est l’éternel  
Clitandre, Et c’est Damis qui pour mainte  
Cruelle fait maint vers tendre.  
Leurs courtes vestes de soie, Leurs longues  
robes à queues, Leur élégance,  
Leur joie Et leurs molles ombre bleues,  
Tourbillonnent dans l’extase D’une lune  
rose et grise, Et la mandoline jase parmi  
les frissons de brise. La, la, la,  
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,  
la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la la la la  
la
