Маргаритки

Language: Russian (Русский)

О, посмотри! как много маргариток —
    И там, и тут...
Они цветут; их много; их избыток;
    Они цветут.

Их лепестки трёхгранные — как крылья,
    Как белый шёлк...
В них лета мощ! В них радость изобилья!
В них слетлый полк.

Готовь, земля, цветам из рос напиток,
    Дай сок стеблю...
О, девушки! о, звезды маргариток!
    Я вас люблю...

Oh, regardez ! combien de marguerites,
 Ici et là,
Fleurissent ;  Elles sont nombreuses, abondantes ;
Elles fleurissent.

Leurs pétales sont triangulaires -- comme des ailes,
 Comme de la soie blanche...
Elles sont le pouvoir de l'été ! En elles la joie abondante ! En elles la multitude brillante !

La terre se prépare à fleurir avec le breuvage de la rosée,
 Donnant de la sève aux tiges.
Oh, les filles ! oh, étoiles de marguerites,
 Je vous aime !
