Message in Blue (Original French text by Andrée Brunin)
Si j'étais jasmin
Matin, m'emperlerait de rosée,
Si j'étais jasmin,
Soir, m'enlacerait sous la ramée.
o Fille du vent, effleure la sente caillouteuse,
Allège la chaude toison laineuse;
Les prés s'animent de taches claires,
Une tiédeur adoucissant l'air.
o La lente avancées des saisons
Est jouissance pour le regard.
Promeneur solitaire apaise ta raison,
Offre à la vie le plus sublime des égards.
Message in Blue (English Translation by Kim Campbell)
If I was jasmine
Morning, would ornate me with dew-pearls
If I was jasmine
Evening, would embrace me under the leafy branches.
Daughter of the wind, skim lightly the tiny stony path,
Alleviate the warm woolen fleece;
The meadows come to life by bright spots,
A warmth that soothes the air.
The slow progress of the seasons
Is enjoyment for the eyes.
Solitary walker soothe your senses,
Offer to life the most sublime regards.
