The order of the 3 stanzas has been changed in this setting by Alain Jacques: the second and third stanzas have been interchanged. The melody is in 7/4 = 3/4 + 4/4.
Literal translation (AJ):
1._My arm was clasping your waist frail And supple like a reed; Your breast was quivering like the wing Of a young bird.
2._Like an angel unveiling You were looking at me in my night, With your beautiful starry glance Which blinds me.
3._For a long time silent, we contemplated The sky where was going out the day. What was happening in our souls? Love, love!
