Ah ! Vous dirais-je maman

Ah! I'll tell you, mom
What causes my torment;
Ever since I saw Wolfgang
Looking at me with a tender air;
My heart says every moment
Can one live without a lover?

He blushes and unfortunately
A sigh betrays his heart.
The cruel one with skill
Takes advantage of his weakness:
Alas, Mom! A misstep
Makes him fall into her arms.
