Mon amie la rose

We are so insignificant
And my friend the rose
Told me this morning
At dawn, I was born
Baptized with dew
I blossomed
Happy and in love
In the rays of the Sun
I closed myself off at night
I woke up old

Yet I was very beautiful
Yes, I was the most beautiful
Of the flowers in your garden

We are so insignificant
And my friend the rose
Told me this morning
See the God who made me
Makes me bow my head
And I feel that I'm falling
And I feel that I'm falling
My heart is almost naked
I have one foot in the grave
Already I am no more

You admired me yesterday
And I will be dust
Forever tomorrow

We are so insignificant
And my friend the rose
Died this morning
The Moon last night
Kept watch over my friend
In a dream, I saw
Dazzling and naked
Her soul that danced
Far beyond the clouds
And smiled at me
He who can believe, believes
Me, I need hope
Otherwise, I am nothing

Or so little
It was my friend the rose
Who said it yesterday morning
