“
Tchaikovsky took this melody from the first volume of
Jean-Baptiste Weckerlin's “
Echos du temps passé” (first published 1853-57), a collection containing mostly French pieces, ranging from
Adam de la Halle to
Rameau (
J. B. Wekerlin, Echos du temps passe, 1:73). Weckerlin states in a brief introduction to the piece that he had taken this anonymous “brunette” from Christophe Ballard's early eighteenth-century collection “Brunetes ou petits airs tendres” (
Paris: n.p., 1704), 2:
145. The melody itself is much older. See Titova, "Starinnaya frantsuzskaya pesenka," for a list of other settings of this melody (this overview is not comprehensive;
Lully's setting
LWV 76, nr. 13, for example, is not mentioned). Tchaikovsky made his own harmonization, in which he switches to the major mode in the third melodic line, like Weckerlin, and unlike earlier versions.” (“Not Russian
Enough?:
Nationalism and Cosmopolitanism in Nineteenth-Century
Russian opera” by Rutger Helmers)

Mes belles amourettes (traditional)
Où êtes-vous allées mes belles amourettes
Changerez-vous de lieu tous les jours?
Puisque le ciel le veut ainsi
Que mon mal je regrette
Je m'em irai dans ces bois
Conter mes amoureux discours
Où êtes-vous allées mes belles amourettes
Changerez-vous de lieu tous les jours?
Où êtes-vous allées mes belles amourettes
Changerez-vous de lieu mille fois?
A qui dirai-je mon tourment
Et mes peines secrètes?
Je m'em irai dans ces bois
Chanter d'une mourante voix
Où êtes-vous allées mes belles amourettes
Changerez-vous de lieu mille fois?
