The postman
The young postman is dead. He was only seventeen. Love cannot travel anymore, it has lost its messenger. It's him who came every day, arms full of my loving words. It's him who held in his hands the flower of love picked from your garden. He soared into the blue sky like a bird, free and happy at last, and when his soul left him a nightingale sang somewhere. I love you just as much as I did, but now I can't say it anymore. He took with him the last words I had written to you. He will no longer walk these paths bordered with rose and jasmine leading to your house. Love cannot travel anymore, it has lost its messenger, and my heart feels like in jail. He went away, the teenager who brought my joys and torments to you. Winter killed spring, it's all over for us now.
Le facteur
LE FACTEUR Le jeune facteur est mort Il n'avait que dix-sept ans L'amour ne peut voyager Il a perdu son messager C'est lui qui venait chaque jour Les bras chargés de tous mes mots d'amour C'est lui qui portait dans ses mains La fleur d'amour cueillie dans ton jardin Il est parti dans le ciel bleu Comme un oiseau enfin libre et heureux Et quand son âme l'a quitté Un rossignol quelque part a chanté Je t'aime autant que je t'aimais Mais je ne peux le dire désormais Il a emporté avec lui Les derniers mots que je t'avais écrits Il n'ira plus sur les chemins Fleuris de roses et de jasmins Qui mènent jusqu'à ta maison L'amour ne peut plus voyager Il a perdu son messager Et mon coeur est comme en prison... Il est parti l'adolescent Qui t'apportait mes joies et mes tourments L'hiver a tué le printemps Tout est fini pour nous deux maintenant
