Ah ! qu’un cœur est malheureux |
Ah, how wretched is a heart |
De s’engager dans vos chaînes ! |
That submits to your chains! |
Redoutables Souveraines |
Fearsome rulers |
Des Esclaves amoureux, |
Of lovelorn slaves, |
Vos mépris sont rigoureux, |
Your disdain is cruel |
Et vos faveurs sont trop vaines. |
And your favours are too vain. |
