Le buffet (original)Le buffet (translation)
C’est un large buffet sculpté;It is a large carved sideboard;
le chêne sombre the dark oak
Très vieux, a pris cet air si bon des vieilles gens; Very old, took on that air so good of old people;
Le buffet est ouvert, et verse dans son ombre The buffet is open, and pours into its shadow
Comme un flot de vin vieux, des parfums engageants; Like a stream of aged wine, engaging scents;
Tout plein, c’est un fouillis de vieilles vieilleries Full, it's a jumble of old junk
De linges odorants et jaunes, de chiffons Smelly and yellow cloths, rags
De femmes ou d’enfants, de dentelles flétries Of women or children, withered lace
De fichus de grande-mère où sont peints des griffons; Grandmother's headscarves painted with griffins;
C’est là qu’on trouverait les médaillons, les mèches That's where we'd find the medallions, the wicks
De cheveux blancs ou blonds, les portraits, les fleurs sèches Of white or blond hair, portraits, dried flowers
Dont le parfum se mêle à des parfums de fruits Whose fragrance mingles with fruit flavors
Ô buffet du vieux temps, tu sais bien des histoires O buffet of old times, you know many stories
Et tu voudrais conter tes contes, et tu bruis And you would like to tell your tales, and you rustle
Quand s’ouvrent lentement tes grandes portes noiresWhen your big black doors slowly open
