Fleurs fanées

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: CAT

J'ai trouvé ce bouquet de fleurettes fanées :
Pâquerettes, volubilis et boutons d’or
Ah! qui saura jamais depuis combien d’années
Ce bouquet fut caché comme on caché un trésor !

Celle qui vous cacha comme on caché un trésor !
Devait être très blonde et volontiers rêveuse,
Pour vous garder ainsi dans sa vie amoureuses,
Pâquerettes, volubilis et boutons d’or.

Ah ! qui saura jamais depuis combien d’années
Ce bouquet eut le sort des choses qu’on oublie,
Fleurettes sans parfum, maintenant si pâlies :
Pauvre petit bouquet de fleurettes fanées !

He trobat aquest ram de floretes marcides:
Margarides, meravelles i botons d’or
Ah! Qui sabrà mai quants anys fa
que aquest ram va ser amagat, com s'amaga un tresor!

Aquella que t’amagà, com s'amaga un tresor!
Deu haver estat molt rossa i somiadora de cor,
per guardar-te així en la seva vida amorosa,
margarides, meravelles i botons d’or.

Ah! Qui sabrà mai  quants anys fa
que aquest ram va tenir el destí de les coses que oblidem,
flors petites i sense perfum, ara tan esvaïdes:
pobre ramet de floretes marcides!
