En plus, j'ai utilise des mots archaiques (comme 'tis, 'tween, doth) pour donner une impression de comptine ancienne, comme un pastiche.<br />Mais je peux expliquer le sens:<br />Strophe 1: nous sommes en Belgique, a mi-chemin entre la France et les Pays-Bas, le 4 septembre<br />Strophe 2: ma Céline, ma soeur, mon amie, a dit OUI a Joren, et je me demande ce que cela va signifier pour moi.<br />Strophe 3: est-ce qu'elle ne partagera plus avec moi ses secrets, ses gaffes, ses etincelles, ses blagues?<br />Strophe 4: est-ce que je serai plus son chauffeur a Los Angeles et sa confidente de minuit?<br />Strophe 5: je soupire avec tristesse, mais mon sourire est joyeux<br />Strophe 6: car je sais que celui qui aime ma chere Celine est un homme dont le coeur est pur.Mary-Laurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05014386827410465480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31111931.post-12248411382313936692010-09-08T00:30:59.138-07:002010-09-08T00:30:59.138-07:00Tu peux nous traduire ton poeme en francais?
