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.
