Elaeudanla Teïtéïa [English translation]

(NB*)

On my portable Remington (1)

I wrote your name Laetitia

Ellashteahaï Teahaïhey

Laetitia, days which come,

Alas, go as well (2)

Ellashteahaï Teahaïhey

That's my pain I develop

While I'm typing those eight very letters (3)

Ellashteahaï Teahaïhey

This is a quite sickly flower

I touch her with my fingertips

Ellashteahaï Teahaïhey

If it must be going to drift

I am glad to go for you

Ellashteahaï Teahaïhey

My reason ultimately

Loses itself in those eight very letters

Ellashteahaï Teahaïhey

On my portable Remington

I wrote your name Laetitia

Ellashteahaï Teahaïhey
