The present you offered me is poisoned

You should know this oh! The beneficent!

It shines like a star

A frame as nice as a parapet

You admire it so much

For me it is worthless

You need to impress others

Always looking for someone prestigious

But I need someone tender

If she doesn’t fulfil my ardour

Deep feelings will bind us for ever

Why all this resentment?

Your tongue, eyes and heart

Brought you only troubles

Your wishes, needs and fervours

Are the products of your aspirations

Tell me if all

That is high is worthy

You know well my deep thoughts

I beg you to leave me

You have to join the lucky

Her heart, mind and temper

I have all I wish for

Bright, charming and soft

All the best qualities

Youth, beauty and height

Don’t mean a lot for me

It’s all over, we agree!

Our ways are well drawn

Seven years have gone

A past witnessing our love

And racking your brain

You, who led our hopes to the ruin,

ahcene mariche
