À sa guitare
(To her/his guitar)

Francis Poulenc (music),  Pierre de Ronsard (words)


Ma guitare, je te chante,
Par qui seule je déçois,
Je déçois, je romps, j'enchante
Les amours que je reçois.

Au son de ton harmonie
Je rafraîchis ma chaleur,
Ma chaleur, flamme infinie,
Naissante d'un beau malheur.

My guitar, I sing to you,
By whom alone I deceive,
I deceive, I break, I enchant
The loves I entertain.

To the sound of your harmony
I rekindle my ardour,
My ardour, boundless flame,
Born of a lovely adversity.[2]
