Tes yeux !
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CAT
"Un peu de pitié, mon âme est si triste !
Un peu de bonheur aussi, si tu peux !"
C'est ce que m'ont dit tes yeux d'améthyste,
Tes yeux si pervers et si purs, tes yeux !

"Es-tu le plaisir ? Je suis la souffrance.
Es-tu jeune aussi ? Mon cœur est si vieux !"
C'est ce que m'ont dit tes yeux d'espérance,
Tes yeux si charmeurs et si durs, tes yeux !

"Je suis la blessure, es-tu la caresse ?
Réalises-tu mon rêve anxieux ?"
C'est ce que m'ont dit tes yeux de détresse,
Tes yeux si vivants et défunts, tes yeux !

"Il faut que pour toi je sois la première,
Si je t'aime moins, que tu m'aimes mieux !"
C'est ce que m'ont dit tes yeux de lumière, 
Tes yeux si lointains et si près, tes yeux !

"Una mica de pietat, que la meva ànima està tan trista!
I una mica de felicitat també, si pots!"
Això és el que em digueren els teus ulls d'ametista,
Els teus ulls tan malvats i, tanmateix, tan purs, els teus ulls!

"Ets plaer? Jo sóc patiment.
Tu també ets jove? El meu cor és tan vell!"
Això és el que em digueren els teus ulls d'esperança,
els teus ulls tan encisadors i tanmateix tan durs, els teus ulls!

“Jo sóc la ferida; ets tu la carícia?
Acompliràs el meu somni angoixat?”
Això és el que em digueren els teus ulls d'angoixa,
els teus ulls tan vius i tanmateix tan difunts, els teus ulls!

“He de ser la primera per a tu,
Si t'estimo menys, que tu m'estimis més!”
Això és el que em digueren els teus ulls de llum,
els teus ulls tan llunyans i, tanmateix, tan propers, els teus ulls!
