Chanson de pâtre (Augier, set by C. Gounod) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Broutez le thym, broutez mes chèvres,
Le serpolet avec le thym, avec le thym.
La blonde Aglaé de ses lèvres,
Toucha les miennes ce matin,
Et j'attends que Vénus se lève
Pour la rejoindre sur la grève.
Brille enfin étoile d'amour!
Et dans les cieux, éteins le jour.
Broutez, broutez le thym, broutez mes chèvres,
Broutez.
