Fleur des blés

Language: French (Français)

Available translation(s): CAT ITA

Le long des blés que la brise
Fait onduler puis défrise
En un désordre coquet,
J'ai trouvé de bonne prise
De t'y cueillir un bouquet.

Mets-le vite à ton corsage, -
Il est fait à ton image
En même temps que pour toi...
Ton petit doigt, je le gage,
T'a déjà soufflé pourquoi:

Ces épis dorés, c'est l'onde
De ta chevelure blonde
Toute d'or et de soleil;
Ce coquelicot qui fronde,
C'est ta bouche au sang vermeil.

Et ces bluets, beau mystère!
Points d'azur que rien n'altère,
Ces bluets ce sont tes yeux,
Si bleus qu'on dirait, sur terre,
Deux éclats tombés des cieux.

Flor de blat

Language: Catalan (Català) after the French (Français)

Al llarg dels blats que la brisa
fa ondular i despentina
en un desordre coquet,
jo he trobat prou encertat
de t’hi collir(-hi) un buquet.

Posa-te’l prompta al teu bust,
ha estat fet a imatge teva
al mateix temps que per tu...
Ton petit dit, hi envido,
t’ha dit ja el per què:

Les espigues d’or, són l’onda
de ta cabellera blonda
tota d’or i de bon sol;
aquest gallaret que aflora,
és ta boca de sang vermell.

I aquests blauets, bell misteri!
punts d’atzur que res no alteri,
aquests blauets són els teus ulls,
Tan blaus que hom diria, a la terra,
Dos esclats tombats del cel.

Versió cantable per a la cançó de Debussy.
