Petite fleur (original)Petite fleur (translation)
Si les fleursIf all the flowers
Qui bordent les cheminsThat hem the country roads with trembling lace,
Se fainaient toutes demainShould wither, faded, by tomorrow’s dawn,
Je garderais au coeurStill in my heart I would enshrine
Celle quiThe one that
S’allumait dans tes yeuxOnce kindled in your gaze—a sudden star—
Lorsque je t’aimais tantWhen I so fiercely worshipped you,
Au pays merveileuxIn that enchanted realm
De nos seize printempsWhere our sixteen springs were crowned by light.
Petite fleur d’amourLittle blossom of love,
Tu fleuriras toujoursYou shall forever unfold your silken fire,
Pour moiFor me alone,
Quand la vieWhen life,
Par moment me trahitIn fitful hours betrays me,
Tu restes mon bonheurYou endure—my portion of delight,
Petite fleurPetite fleur,
Sur mes vingt ansUpon the boundary of my twenty years,
Je m’arrête un momentI pause mid-flight,
Pour respirerTo breathe once more
Ce parfum que j’ai tant aiméThat fragrance I adored beyond all reason,
Dans mon coeurWithin my heart,
Tu fleuriras toujourYou shall ever bloom anew,
Au grand jardin d’amourIn the vast, unending garden of desire,
Petite fleur…Little flower...
Dans mon coeurWithin my heart,
Tu fleuriras toujourYou shall ever bloom anew,
Au grand jardin d’amourIn the vast, unending garden of desire,
Petite fleur…Little flower...
