Send me a New Year's gift, and I will send you one too
Language: English after the French (Français)
- Send me a New Year's gift, and I will send you one too,
my only love. - But what? - The heart that is mine
to give you, on this first day of the New Year;
take it gladly! - So I do, my very dear friend,
and I will also give you mine forever.
- Very great thanks I give you, and so I will serve you
without leaving - Oh yes? - So without delay,
on this fine day of joy and revels ...
- Send me a New Year's gift, and I will send you one too,
my only love. - But what? - The heart that is mine
to give you, on this first day of the New Year;
- And relieve my ills, or I will die
of despair. - But when? - Alas I don't know.
I am wounded worse than with a knife
by your fair eyes. - Are you really ill like that,
then? I will comfort you.
- Send me a New Year's gift, and I will send you one too,
my only love. - But what? - The heart that is mine
to give you, on this first day of the New Year;
take it gladly! - So I do, my very dear friend,
and I will also give you mine forever.
