À la main une fleur sauvage,
Deux amoureux causaient le soir au coin d'un bois, 
Deux blancs ramiers aussi chantaient sous le feuillage,
Mais les amants avaient une plus douce voix.

In hand a wild flower

Language: English after the French (Français)

In hand a wild flower,
Two lovers were talking at night in the corner of the woods,
Two white doves were also cooing under the leafy canopy,
But the lovers’ voices were softer.
