Our translations: CAT ENG GER ITA
J'aime tes yeux, j'aime ton front,
Ô ma rebelle, ô ma farouche,
J'aime tes yeux, j'aime ta bouche
Où mes baisers s'épuiseront.
J'aime ta voix, j'aime l'étrange
Grâce de tout ce que tu dis,
Ô ma rebelle, ô mon cher ange,
Mon enfer et mon paradis !1
J'aime tout ce qui te fait belle,
De tes pieds jusqu'à tes cheveux,
Ô toi vers qui montent mes [vœux,
Ô ma farouche, ô ma rebelle !]2

Estimo els teus ulls, estimo el teu...
Language: Catalan (Català) after the French (Français)
Estimo els teus ulls, estimo el teu front,
oh la meva rebel, oh la meva feréstega,
estimo els teus ulls, estimo la teva boca
on s’esgotaran els meus besos.
Estimo la teva veu, estimo l’estranya
gràcia de tot el que dius,
oh la meva rebel, oh el meu estimat àngel,
el meu infern i el meu paradís!
Estimo tot el que t’embelleix,
dels teus peus fins als teus cabells,
oh tu, vers qui s’enlairen els meus desigs,
oh la meva feréstega, oh la meva rebel!
