Il en joue après moi, sidoucement que je l’entends à peine.Nous n’avons rien à nous dire, tant nous sommesprès l’un de l’autre; mais nos chansons veulent serépondre, et tour à tour nos bouches s’unissent sur la flûte.Il est tard; voici le chant des grenouilles vertes quicommence avec la nuit. Ma mère ne croira jamais queje suis restée si longtemps à chercher ma ceinture perdue. For Hyacinthus day he gave me a syrinx made ofcarefully cut reeds, bonded with white wax which tastessweet to my lips like honey.He teaches me to play, as I sit on his lap; but I ama little fearful. He plays it after me, so gently that Iscarcely hear him.We have nothing to say, so close are we one toanother, but our songs try to answer each other, andour mouths join in turn on the flute.It is late; here is the song of the green frogs thatbegins with the night. My mother will never believeI stayed out so long to look for my lost sash. Translation © Richard Stokes, author of A French Song Companion (Oxford, 2000)
