Original text and translations

French text Sans murmurer Laissez-moi soupirer, La faveur est légère; Sans y penser vos beaux yeux m’ont charmé, Sans y penser j’aimai, Amour fit cette affaire; Sans murmurer Laissez-le faire. Je suis secret Amoureux et discret, Sans espoir je soupire, Et si jamais vous preniez de l’amour Si vous vouliez un jour, Partager mon martyre; Je suis secret Amoureux et discret.

English translation Without murmur Let me sigh for you, Favour is fast-won; Without thought Your eyes enchanted me, Without thought, I loved, Love disposed this liaison; Without murmur, Let him succeed. I am secretive, Amorous and discreet, Without hope, I pine for you, And if ever you thought to partake of this love, If you wished someday, To share my torment; I am secretive, Amorous and discreet.
