FRENCH LYRICS:
Elle a fui, la tourterelle!
Ah! souvenir trop doux!
Image trop cruelle!
Hélas! à mes genoux
je l’entends, je le vois!
Elle a fui, la tourterelle.
Elle a fui loin de toi;
mais elle est toujours fidèle
et te garde sa foi.
Mon bien-aimè, ma voix t’appelle.
Oui, tout mon coeur est à toi.
Elle a fui, la tourterelle.
Elle a fui loin de toi.
Chère fleur qui viens d’éclore,
par pitié, réponds-moi!
Toi qui sais s’il m’aime encore,
s’il me garde sa foi!
Mon bien-aimé, ma voix t’implore,
Ah! que ton coeur vienne à moi.
Elle a fui, la tourterelle,
elle a fui loin de toi!

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
She has fled, the turtle dove!
Ah, memory too sweet!
Image too bitter!
Alas, at my knees
I hear him, I see him!
She has fled, the turtle dove.
She has fled far from you;
but she is forever faithful
and keeps her promise to you.
My beloved, my voice calls to you.
Yes, all my heart is yours.
She has fled, the turtle dove.
She has fled far from you.
Dear flower that has just bloomed,
for pity’s sake, answer me!
You who knows if he still loves me,
if he keeps his promise to me!
My beloved, my voice implores you. Ah! may your heart come to me.
She has fled, the turtle dove,
she has fled far from you.
