Lorsque je ne serai plus, que mortes...
Language: French (Français) after the Persian (Farsi)
Lorsque je ne serai plus, que mortes seront mes
lèvres et mortes mes paupières, que mon corps
froid et sans désir sera vide de ton âme,
Viens veiller près du corps qui t'aimait et dis tout
doucement : Ô toi que mes dédains ont tué et
que mon cœur à jamais regrette !

When I am no more, when dead are my
Language: English after the French (Français)
When I am no more, when dead are my
lips and dead my eyelids, when my body,
cold and without desire, will be empty without your heart,
Come to mourn over the body that loved you and murmur utterly
gently : “Oh, you whom my disdain has killed and
whom my heart will ever regret!”
