Inhumaines qui, sans merci
Vous raillez de notre souci

Refrain: Aimez quand on vous aime, aimez quand on vous aime

Ingrats qui ne vous doutez pas,
Des rêves éclos sur vos pas

Sachez ô cruelles beautés
Que les jours d'aimer sont comptés

Sachez, amoureux inconstants
Que le bien d'aimer n'a qu'un temps !

Un même destin nous poursuit
Et notre folie est la même

C'est celle de fuir qui nous aime
C'est celle d'aimer qui nous fuit
