English::

WHO is Silvia? What is she?
That all our swains commend her?
Holy, fair, and wise is she;
The heaven such grace did lend her,
That she might admired be.


Is she kind as she is fair?
For beauty lives with kindness:
Love doth to her eyes repair,
To help him of his blindness;
And, being help'd, inhabits there.


Then to Silvia let us sing,
That Silvia is excelling;
She excels each mortal thing
Upon the dull earth dwelling:
To her let us garlands bring.

Kreyòl::

KILÈS KI SILVIA?

Kilès ki Silvia? Kilès
ki fè tou anmoure vle l?
Li sen, li bèl, li gen sajès;
Syèl Bondye te bali bèlte l
Pou moun admire l kòm yon prensès.


Èske l bèl menm jan l janti tou?
Bèlte mache ak bonte.
Nan je l vle rete lanmou,
Paske lanmou ap chèche ede
Wete vwal nan je pa misye tou.


Pou Silvia annou chante,
Silvia se yon bèl fi li ye;
Pa gen yon nanm ki rete
Sou tè a li pa depase:
Pou li anpil gilann nou pote
.
