I was perhaps yours
Before I saw you
My life, in its formation, was promised to yours
Your name warned me
By an unexpected disturbance
Your soul was hiding there
To awaken mine

I heard it one day
And I lost my voice
I listened to it for a long time, I forgot to answer
My being with yours
Had just merged
I thought I was being called
For the first time

Your voice made me pale and my eyes lowered
In a silent gaze our souls embraced
In the depth of this gaze your name was revealed
And without asking I had said, "there it is"

Did you know this miracle?
Well, without knowing you
I guessed by it my lover and my master
And I recognized him
In your first accents
When you came to enlighten
My beautiful languishing days

From then on he seized
My astonished ear
It became submissive to it, it was chained to it
I expressed through it alone my sweetest feelings
I joined it to mine
To sign my oaths

It is he who caresses me and whom my heart breathes
Beloved name charming name oracle of my fate
Alas, how you please me, how your grace touches me
Like a last kiss you will close my mouth

Your voice made me pale, and my eyes lowered
In a silent gaze our souls embraced
In the depth of this gaze your name was revealed
And without asking I had said, "there it is"

It is he who caresses me and whom my heart breathes
Beloved name charming name oracle of my fate
Alas, how you please me, how your grace touches me
Like a last kiss you will close my mouth
