Pleure, pauvre Colette (Bourgery, set by H. Berlioz) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Auprés de moi Colette
Hier se désola. 
En pleurant la pauvrette
De ses maux me parla.
Pleure, pauvre Colette!
L'amour est toujours lá.

Colin á la fillette 
Sincère amour jura;
Mais pour une coquette
Colin l'abandonna.
Pleure, pauvre Colette!
L'amour est toujours lá.

Encor triste et muette,
Bergère soupira; 
Toujours de sa défaite
Colette gémira. 
Pleure, pauvre Colette!
L'amour est toujours lá.
