Lyrics and translation Josephine Foster - The Pruner's Pair
One
summer
winter
Un
été
d'hiver
I
fell
down
among
the
splinters
Je
suis
tombée
parmi
les
éclats
Of
a
rose
of
the
tree
D'une
rose
de
l'arbre
My
true
lover
planted
thee
Mon
vrai
amant
t'a
plantée
My
true
lover
planted
thee--
Mon
vrai
amant
t'a
plantée--
They
them
rose,
four
and
twenty,
Elles
sont
roses,
vingt-quatre,
Clustered
in
my
heart
as
plenty
Groupées
dans
mon
cœur
comme
en
abondance
Same
the
age
you
did
fall
Du
même
âge
que
tu
es
tombée
And
lie
in
heaven
after
all
Et
repose
au
ciel
après
tout
And
lie
in
heaven
after
all--
Et
repose
au
ciel
après
tout--
Thorns
will
not
embitter
me
Les
épines
ne
m'amèneront
pas
l'amertume
Not
your
powers
constancy
Pas
ta
constance
de
pouvoirs
Lead
me
to
the
pruner's
pair
Mène-moi
à
la
paire
du
tailleur
Silent
I
will
cut
thee
bare
En
silence,
je
te
couperai
nu
Silent
I
will
cut
thee
bare--
En
silence,
je
te
couperai
nu--
