Available translation(s): ENG
J'ai voulu ce matin te rapporter des roses ; Mais j'en avais tant pris dans mes ceintures closes, Que les nœuds trop serrés n'ont pu les contenir. Les nœuds ont éclaté : les roses envolées, Dans le vent, à la mer s'en sont toutes allées : Elles ont suivi l'eau pour ne plus revenir. La vague en a paru rouge et comme enflammée : Ce soir, [ma]1 robe encore en est tout embaumée. [Respirez-en]2 sur moi l'odorant souvenir.

This morning I wanted to bring you some...
Language: English after the French (Français)
This morning I wanted to bring you some roses; but I had gathered so many into my knotted sashes that the knots were too strained and couldn't hold them. They broke. The roses flew out in the wind, and they all fell into the sea. They floated off with the water and never returned. They made the waves appear red as if on fire. This evening, my dress is still strongly perfumed... Come smell it on me - breathe its fragrant memory.
