Trois allumettes une à une allumées dans la nuit
La premiére pour voir ton visage tout entier
La seconde pour voir tes yeux
La dernière pour voir ta bouche
Et l'obscuritè tout entière pour me rappeler tout cela
En te serrant dans mes bras.
(translation:
Three matches one by one struck in the night
The first to see your face in its entirety
The second to see your eyes
The last to see your mouth
And the darkness all around to remind me of all these
As I hold you in my arms.)
I been to many cities but Parii at night; that scene, that feeling, those scents will forever remain in my heart!
This is a beautiful work done by Jaques Prévert i absolutely love it
In our french class, our teach have taught us about this, so romantic:)
A poem of great depth. So beautifully and cleverly expressed.
Beautiful expressions from the late French poet, they looked simple but the meaning is certainly felt deeper and more intense in the poem as we progress in reading 5 Stars
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
I love the simple idea and the profound way it comes across.
