Ne m'appelle pas, je t'en prie

Our translations: ENG
Ne m'appelle pas, je t'en prie, Ta rose, car, si j'étais fleur, Je serais bien vite flétrie. Sans grâce, parfum ni couleur, Ne m'appelle pas davantage Ta colombe, car les oiseaux Ayant les ailes en partage, Volent, de rameaux, en rameaux. Moi je veux être toujours belle, Ami, pour te plaire toujours. Je veux surtout rester fidèle, Au premier nid de nos amours.
