Paris At Night By Jacques Prévert, Translated By

Rating: 5.0


Three matches one by one lit in the night
The first to see your entire face
The second to see your eyes
The last to see your mouth
And total obscurity to remind me of all these
While hugging you in my arms.


Paris at Night (Prévert gives the title in English)

Trois allumettes une à une allumée dans la nuit
La première pour voir ton visage tout entier
La second pour voir tes yeux
La dernière pour voir ta bouche
Et l'obscurité tout entière pour me rappeler tout cela
En te serrant dans mes bras.

A beautiful French poem, pronounced by a person (or maybe an AI?) who never learned any french - how can that be?
