Petit cours de morale (H.148)
Irène
Le lord prévôt d'Edimbourg
Dit que l'amour est chimère.
Mais un jour il perd sa mère...
Ses larmes coulent toujours.
Irène petite Irène.
L'Amour c'est la grande peine.
Irène
The Lord Provost of Edinburgh
Says that love's a chimera.
But one day he loses his mother...
And still his tears are flowing.
Irène, little Irène,
Love is the great sorrow.
