Chanson De Delphine
Les Demoiselles De Rochefort
Delphine's Song
I know nothing about him, yet I see him
His name is familiar to me, and I know his voice
Often in my sleep, I encounter his face
His gaze and love merge into one image
He has the beauty of romantic men
The talent of the divine Raphael imitated
A democratic spirit philosophy
And finally, the unlimited rhyme of the poet
I could talk to you about his eyes, his hands
I could talk to you about him until tomorrow
His love is my life, but what's the point of dreaming?
The illusion of love is not love found
Is he near, is he far, is he in Rochefort?
I will meet him because I know he exists
More than reason, the heart is the strongest
To his order, to his law, no one resists
And I will not resist
