En vérité [English translation]

To tell the truth, I am almost afraid

That my life is now portrayed

By the thoughts that are unswayed

from you, who that summer my sole has waylaid.

Your forever dear visage

Lives in this heart that is all yours,

It is my heart that's only jealous,

to love and bring you pleasures.

Forgive me if I tremble

In honesty of your words I gamble.

I am telling you again without preamble

In spite this sounding a droll ramble; all

That I love is you, I love you.
