Language: French (Français) after the Arabic (العربية)
Ton corps est une fleur, tes yeux sont deux opales ;
Le parfum du jasmin sort de tes lèvres pâles,
Quand tu chantes le Chant des Mages dans la nuit :
Une étoile palpite en ta beauté qui luit.

Language: English after the French (Français)
Your body is a flower, your eyes are two opals;
The scent of jasmine escapes your pale lips,
When you sing the Song of the Mages in the night:
A star pulses in the glow of your beauty.
