AH! leave me, I pray you,
I have no time for it,
I have no time for it.
The village girls
Are going to glean before me.
Ah! leave me, I pray you,
I have no time for it.
D O L I V A L.
Stay, stay, I pray you.
You must be tired.
Let us chat for a few moments.
It is not at your age
That one occupies oneself with gleaning;
You can harvest.
Stay, stay, I pray you,
You must be tired,
Let us chat for a few moments.
Your obstinacy is in vain;
You will stay.
Let me go.
See, when you have made me lose my day,
Will you be any further ahead?
Yes.
When the time for the harvest has passed,
Will you give me back my profit for the year?
