Adonis [English translation]

Adonis, I dreamed of Adonis

and when I was sixteen, I often imagined

what a delight it would be to live in the time of Adonis

and to be able to see him even for a moment and to know him.

That love of a day that is always beautiful

quickly flew away when I met you.

Adonis, you are not Adonis,

but you replaced him well because you knew how to please me.

~~~~~~

Sincere, resilient, splendid—

you are like that all at once.

Without intending malice, you are better than Adonis.

At least I believe it

since it is you whom I love.

Adonis, Adonis, Adonis, Adonis ...
