Our translations: ENG
Bonjour Suzon, ma fleur des bois ! Es-tu toujours la plus jolie ? Je reviens, tel que tu me vois, D'un grand voyage en Italie, Du paradis j'ai fait le tour ; J'ai fait des vers, j'ai fait l'amour. Mais que t'importe ? Je passe devant ta maison ; Ouvre ta porte. Bonjour, Suzon ! Je t'ai vue au temps des lilas. Ton cœur joyeux venait d'éclore. Et tu disais : "je ne veux pas, Je ne veux pas qu'on m'aime encore." Qu'as-tu fait depuis mon départ ? Qui part trop tôt revient trop tard. Mais que m'importe ? Je passe devant ta maison ; Ouvre ta porte. Bonjour, Suzon !
