I. La maîtresse volage
My mistress is unfaithful,
My rival is happy:
If he took her virginity,
It's because she had two.
So sails the ship
As long as it can sail.

II. Chanson à boire
The kings of Egypt and Syria
Wanted their bodies to be embalmed
Wishing to last longer, dead.
What a mess!
Let us drink according to our desire,
We should drink over and over again.
Let us drink during our lifetime
Embalm ourselves before death
Because that balm is sweet!

III. Madrigal
You are as beautiful as an angel,
Sweet as a little lamb;
There is no man, Jeanette,
Who doesn't follow your rule.
But a girl without breasts
Is a partridge without oranges.

IV. Invocation aux Parques
I swear, as long as I live,
To love you, O Sylvie;
Fates, who in your hands hold
The thread of our Life,
Elongate mine, as long as you can,
I beg you.

V. Couplets bachiques
Throughout the day, I am
Serious and playful.
When I see an empty bottle
I am serious, O I am serious;
Is it full, I am playful.
Throughout the day,
Serious and playful.
When my wife takes me to bed,
I behave all night long
If a prostitute comes into my bed,
Then I am playful.
Ah! Beautiful hostess, pour me some wine,
I am playful, playful, playful.

VI. L'offrande
To the god of Love, a virgin
One day offered a candle
Hoping to obtain a lover.
The god heard the request,
And replied, "Beauty, while waiting,
Make good use of this offering."

VII. La belle jeunesse
We only need to love each other
and never marry.
We must make love
without priest or notary.
Stop, sirs, don't marry!
Aim only for the cash;
Aim only for the pleasure.
Stop, sirs, don't marry,
Aim only for the hearts.
Why should we marry,
If we don't need to beg
The wives of other men
To become ours.
When their passions,
When their favors,
Look for our money,
Look for our pleasures,
Look for our hearts.

VIII. Sérénade
With a hand so beautiful,
That offers so many charms,
That you received from the malicious god,
You must handle a weapon well.
And when that child is sad
Wipe all of its tears.
