Mon ami m'a donné

My friend gave me a flower
A flower that I held to my heart
On my heart full of him
How beautiful the rose was
In my heart full of him
Happiness has bloomed

My friend gave me a kiss
Near my heart, gently placed it
On my heart full of love
How sweet his lips were
This kiss full of love
I gave back in turn

My friend gave me a vow
The vow to love me for so long
So long that the flowers
Will grow on the earth
So long that the flower
Will stay on my heart

My friend gave me tears
Tears that I didn't deserve
To wipe away my tears
I took the white rose
I took the blooming rose
That was on my heart

My friend will come to see me tomorrow
No more flowers and lots of sorrow
I’ll go steal some flowers
From the gardens of the world
I’ll go steal some flowers
The most beautiful for my heart

If they want to throw me in jail
I’ll tell whoever judges me
Let the drums beat
And raise the gallows
Rather than lose love
I’ll steal France
And the king in his court
Rather than lose love…
