À moi, vous êtes la beauté d'un matin d'été
la passion de l'hiver furied des vents
vous êtes l'envie de toutes les étoiles dans le ciel
la terre implore le votre adaptent de même que je
vous êtes tout ce qui est beau
et bon
et sage
Je n'ai jamais connu mon coeur
laissez-lâchement la des chaînes
et mon amour soit tellement librement donné
en tant que maintenant
en tant que maintenant, quand j'ai découvert

vraiment combien vous voulez dire à moi
mes jours semblent foncés sans votre sourire
mes oreilles se sentent vides sans votre voix
et mon mal de bras sans votre présence là
Je vous aime pour toute l'éternité
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In English....
To me, you are the beauty of a summer morning
the passion of winter's furied winds
you are the envy of all the stars in heaven
the earth craves your attune
as do I
you are all that is beautiful
and good
and wise
I've never known my heart
to let loose her chains
and my love be so freely given
as now
as now, when I have discovered
truly how much you mean to me
my days seem dark without your smile
my ears feel empty without your voice
and my arms ache without your presence there
I will love you for all eternity
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls; for stony limits cannot hold love out; and what love can do that dares love attempt." Romeo & Juliet Act II

I wish I remembered more of my French so that I could enjoy the original as it was meant to be. Even in English it's beautiful; reading it in Francais sounds so much more lyrical.
