Текст песни Поль ВЕРЛЕН - Обет

Girlfriends of youth and young desires!
  Azure radiant eyes and gold hair!
  Hugs scent, scent of braids
  And insolence timid of blazing kisses!

  But where are these days of careless glee,
  Days of sincere love? Alas, the autumn thunderstorms
  They could not stand it, and now the frost reigns
  Longing, fatigue and no charm.

  Now I am alone, gloomy and alone.
  So the old man lives out his life without hope,
  Sister abandoned, so the orphan yearns.

  Oh woman, with soul and flattering and simple,
  Someone who won’t surprise you at all, and sometimes
  Like a mother, she smiles softly on your forehead with a smile!
