Sur l'herbe

Translation(s):
ENG
L'abbé divague. - Et toi, marquis,
Tu mets de travers ta perruque.
- Ce vieux vin de Chypre est exquis;
Moins, [Camargo]1, que votre nuque.
- Ma flamme . . . Do, mi, sol, la, si.
- L'abbé, ta noirceur se dévoile.
- Que je meure, mesdames, si
Je ne vous décroche une étoile.
- Je voudrais être petit chien!
Embrassons nos bergères, l'une
Après l'autre, Messieurs, eh bien?
Do, mi, sol. - Hé! bonsoir la Lune!
