lyrics

Vierges, louez Diane, et vous, adolescents,
Apollôn Cynthien aux cheveux florissants;
Louez Latone en choeur, cette amante si chère.

Vous, celle qui se plaît aux feuillages épais
D'Érymanthe, aux grands cours d'eau vive, ou qui préfère
La verdeur du Cragus ou l'Algide plus frais.

Vous, le carquois sacré, l'épaule, la cithare
Fraternelle, et Tempé, l'honneur Thessalien!
Et la mer murmurante et le bord Délien.

Louez ces jeunes Dieux. Sur le dace barbare
Qu'ils détournent, émus de vos chants alternés,
La fortune incertaine et les maux destinés.

...

Virgins, praise Diane, and you teenagers,
Apollôn Cynthien with flourishing hair;
Praise Latona in chorus, this dear lover.

You, the one who likes the thick foliage
From Erymanthus, to the great rivers, or who prefers
The greenness of Cragus or the fresher Algide.

You, the sacred quiver, the shoulder, the zither
Fraternal, and Tempé, Thessalian honor!
And the murmuring sea and the Delien shore.
Praise these young Gods. On the barbarian dace
Let them turn away, moved by your alternating songs,
Fortune uncertain and evils destined.
