Subject: RE: Thought for the Day (Dec 27)
Actually, seed, the translation is prosaic and lousy, from laziness. The original has a fine beat to it. Actually I wonder if anyone knows any music to it (Le Mariage Anglais).
The original last verse goes:
Et quand ce vint sur la minuit,
Le belle n'est pas endormie:
"Retourne toi, embrasse moi,
Mon cher Anglois!
Puisque Dieu nous a assemblés,
Faut néanmoins aimer!"
