Au feu, au feu by Jean Maillard — Lyrics
Au feu, au feu,
venez me secourir,
vrais amants!
Voyez la grande offense
à tort, amour me brûle sans me tuer,
et je ne puis contre elle

About Au feu, au feu
The French text of this chanson, Au feu, au feu, describes a lover’s desperate plea for help. He burns with the pangs of unrequited love, feeling greatly offended that his beloved’s indifference torments him without killing him, leaving him no defence and prolonged suffering. He begs for the desired union or at least for hope, lest his time be spent in vain. This secular song from the chansons tradition is set for four voices in SATB.
