Puisqu'ici-bas toute âme Donne à quelqu'un Sa musique, sa flamme, Ou son parfum ; Puisqu'ici ... chaque chose Donne toujours Son épine ou sa rose A ses amours ; ... Puisque l'air à la branche Donne l'oiseau ; Que l'aube à la pervenche Donne un peu d'eau ; Puisque, lorsqu'elle arrive S'y reposer, L'onde amère à la rive Donne un baiser ; Je te donne, à cette heure, Penché sur toi, La chose la meilleure Que j'ai en moi ! Reçois donc ma pensée, Triste d'ailleurs, Qui, comme une rosée, T'arrive en pleurs ! Reçois mes voeux sans nombre, O mes amours ! Reçois la flamme ou l'ombre De tous mes jours ! Mes transports pleins d'ivresses, Pur de soupçons, Et toutes les caresses De mes chansons ! ...

每个灵魂下面 给予对方 以音乐和火焰， 或者芳香； 这里一切东西 奉献常存， 把玫瑰或荆棘 给爱的人； ... 树枝空气奉献 给予小鸟； 给点露水，相伴 长春之晓； 波涛到达终点 休息时分， 浪花给予了岸 一记深吻； 就在这个时机 俯在你身， 我最好的东西 至真至纯！ 接收我的思想 尽管忧悒， 如同露水一样， 泪滴向你！ 接受我的愿景， 我的爱人！ 接收火焰阴影 于我光阴！ 带来沉醉无度， 还有怀疑， 这所有的爱抚 在我歌里， ...
