Anne par jeu me jecta de la neige

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: CAT ENG

Anne par jeu me jecta de la neige
Que je cuidoys froide certainement:
Mais c'estoit feu, l'expérience en ay-je
Car embrasé je fuz soubdainement
Puisque le feu loge secretement
Dedans la neige, où trouveray-je place
Pour n'ardre point? Anne, ta seule grâce
Estaindre peut le feu que je sens bien
Non point par eau, par neige, ne par glace,
Mais par sentir ung feu pareil au mien.

Anne jugant amb va tirar neu

Language: Catalan (Català) after the French (Français)

Anne jugant amb va tirar neu
Que jo certament vaig trobat freda :
Però era foc, en tinc l’experiència
Car de sobte em vaig abrusar
Puix que el foc s’allotja secretament 
Dins de la neu, on trobaré un lloc
Per no seguir abrusant? Anne, la teva única mercè
Pot extingir el foc que em consumeix
No pas amb aigua, amb neu, ni amb glaç,
Però sentint un foc igual que el meu.
