lyrics

J'avais crû qu'en vous aimant,
La douceur serait extrême:
J'aurais crû qu'en vous aimant,
Mon sort eût été charmant:

Mais, je me trompais, hélas!
Dois-je le dire moi-même?
Vous savez que je vous aime,
Pourquoi ne m'aimez-vous pas?

Iris aime son Berger,
Qu'en n'en faites vous de même?
Iris aime son Berger,
Et ne veut point le changer.

Tous les jours pour vos appas,
Je souffre une peine extrême.
Vous savez que je vous aime
Pourquoi ne m'aimez-vous pas?



I thought that in loving you,
The sweetness would be extreme.
I would have thought that in loving you,
My fate would be charming.

But I was mislead, alas!
Must I say it myself?
You know that I love you
Why do you not love me?

Iris loves her shepherd,
Why don't you do the same?
Iris loves her shepherd,
And doesn't want to change him

Every day for your charm,
I suffer an extreme pain.
You know that I love you
Why do you not love me?
