Ah ! Vous dirais-je maman [English translation]

Ah! Should I tell you, Mum,

What is causing my torment?

Ever since I saw Wolfgang

Look at me with such a tender air;

My heart asks at every moment

Can we live without a lover?

He blushes and unfortunately

A sigh betrays his heart.

The cruel woman with a motive

Takes advantage of his weakness

Alas, Mum! One bad move

Will make him fall straight into her arms.
