Petite Fleur [English translation]

If the flowers

that border the roads

would all wither tomorrow

I would keep in my heart

the one

that lit up in your eyes

when I loved you deeply

in that beautiful country

of our sixteen springs.*

Little Flower of Love,

you shall always bloom

for me.

When life at times

betrays (deceives) me

you're still my happiness

Little Flower.

At my twentieth

I stop for a moment

to inhale

that scent I loved so dearly.

In my heart

you shall always bloom

in the big garden of Love

Little Flower...

In my heart

you shall always bloom

in the big garden of Love

Little Flower...
