Il a neigé des fleurs cette nuit
Language: French (Français)
Il a neigé des fleurs cette nuit;
Les sentiers et les allées
Disparaissent sous un blanc tapis
De corrolles envolées;
Il a neigé des fleurs, des fleurs de cerisier
Et tous ces blancs pétales,
Dispersées par la brise,
Exhalent à l'envoi, exhalent
Une odeur qui me grise.
Où l'ai-je respirée,
Mignonne, cette exquise Senteur?
Où l'ai-je respirée
Cette odeur qui me grise?
Il a neigé des fleurs cette nuit;
Les sentiers et les allées
Disparaissent sous un blanc tapis
De corrolles envolées;
Il a neigé des fleurs, des fleurs de cerisier.

It snowed flowers
Language: English after the French (Français)
It snowed flowers tonight.
Paths and lanes
are hidden under a white carpet
of flown corollas.
It snowed flowers, cherry blossoms.
And all these white petals,
dispersed on the breeze,
exhale
an intoxicating scent.
Where have I smelled
this exquisite perfume, my Lovely?
Where have I smelled
this intoxicating odor?
It snowed flowers tonight.
Paths and lanes
are hidden under a white carpet
of flown corollas.
It snowed flowers, cherry blossoms.
