La marguerite et le bleuet [English translation]

I am going to tell you the story

Of a little cornflower's great love

And of a gentle daisy

As flirtatious and pretty as possible.

She was tucking in her collar

When he ogled her,

She blushed like a little girl

When he said to her, "My love"

Oh my little daisy

I will love you forever and ever.

She whispered back:

"I will love you forever and ever".

But all that love didn't last

A kid who was walking by

Plucked the beauty out of the cornflower

For the little flower who was following him.

She tore off the petals

Then tossed her aside without her clothes

And the little daisy

Died of shame, oh what a life!

The little cornflower cried next to her

While letting himself die of love

His last words were just for her:

"I will love you forever and ever

I will love you forever and ever

I will love you forever and ever".
