Manteau de fleurs
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG
Toutes les fleurs de mon jardin sont roses,
Le rose sied à sa beauté.
Les primevères sont les premières écloses,
Puis viennent les tulipes et les jacinthes roses,
Les jolis oeillets, les si belles roses,
Toute la variété des fleurs si roses
Du printemps et de l'été!
Le rose sied à sa beauté!
Toutes mes pivoines sont roses,
Roses aussi sont mes glaïeuls,
Roses mes géraniums; seuls,
Dans tout ce rose un peu troublant,
Les lys ont le droit d'être blancs.
Et quand elle passe au milieu des fleurs
Emperlées de rosée en pleurs,
Dans le parfum grisant des roses,
Et sous la caresse des choses
Tout grâce, amour, pureté!
Les fleurs lui font un manteau rose
Dont elle pare sa beauté.

Mantell de flors

Add this translation to the Basket
Totes les flors del meu jardí són de color de rosa,
el rosa s’escau a la seva bellesa.
Les prímules són les primeres a florir,
després vénen les tulipes i els jacints roses,
els bonics clavells, les precioses roses,
tota la varietat de flors tan rosades
de la primavera i de l’estiu!
El rosa s’escau a la seva bellesa!
Totes les meves peònies són de color rosa,
també són de color rosa els meus gladiols,
i els meus geranis; només que,
enmig de tota aquesta rosor una mica torbadora,
es permet que els lliris siguin blancs.
I quan ella camina entre les flors
emperlades per la rosada com si fossin llàgrimes,
en la intensa fragància de les roses,
i sota la carícia de les coses
plenes de gràcia, amor i puresa!
Les flors li formen un mantell rosa,
amb el qual ella adorna la seva bellesa.
