Villanelle
Language: French (Français)
Viens, mon aimée, viens;
allons là-bas parmi les champs,
allons vivre dans les villages.
Viens, mon aimée
Montons avec l’aube à la vigne,
allons voir le pampre fleurir
Ou si la tendre grenade bourgeonne.
Là-bas, je te donnerai mon amour.
Based on Song of Solomon (Salomon) 7:11-12

Villanelle
Language: English after the French (Français)
Come, my beloved, come;
let us go there among the fields,
let us go to live in the villages.
Come, my beloved,
Let us go up with the dawn to the vineyard,
let us go to see the vine branch bloom
or if the tender pomegranate is budding.
There, I will give you my love.
