Le trésor
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG ITA
Tu sers à mes désirs un éternel repas.
Tu peux donner toujours, tu ne t'appauvris pas.

Pour rajeunir la fleur de tes roses caresses,
Il suffit qu'après une absence tu paraisses.

Quand sans voir tes yeux bleus je reste plus d'un jour,
Je trouve un renouveau piquant dans ton amour.

Ta bouche a conservé la fraîcheur d'une aurore.
Comme avant de t'avoir, je veux t'avoir encore.

Tes charmes sont pareils au laurier toujours vert
Qui garde son printemps même au cœur de l'hiver.

Ton corps plein de secrets connaît l'art de renaître.
Je ne verrai jamais le fin fond de ton être.

Ton corps voluptueux ressemble à ce trésor
Où les Nibelungen accumulaient leur or.

On peut le disperser comme on jette du sable,
Il en reste toujours. Il est inépuisable.

Confirmed with Les caresses, Nouvelle Édition, Paris, G. Charpentier, [no date], pages 118-119.
