Julie (translation below)

A Poem by 外人 (Gaijin)
"

A little Parisian love story that came to my mind, hope you like it :)

"
Tienimi la mano
e portami lontano,
in questa magica notte parigina
mentre la pioggia ci baccia
col suo umido tocco 

dolcemente, mi porti nell'ile de cité,
mi mostri il meglio di Parigi e di te,
sdraiati, i tuoi capelli si posano sul mio collo,
sensazione magnifica di pienezza, mai più saro 

solo un nome nel mio cuore è scritto,
melodia di rose rosse per chi l'ha sentito,
appena il tatto, l'udito puo sopraffare,
col bacio appassionato di chi mi dice di amare.

E tu, Parigi, sii testimone 
di questo giuramento di eterno amore.
Il y a une chouse que je ne t'ai jamais dite:
avec tout mon coeur, je t'aime, Julie.

TRANSLATION
Title: Julie

Take my hand
and bring me far away,
in this magic parisian night
while rain kisses us
with its wet touch

sweetly, you bring me to Ile de cité,
you show me the best of Paris and of you,
lying down, your hair sit on my neck,
great sensation of fullness, I'll never be again 

Alone/only one name is written in my heart
red roses melody for the ones who heard it,
only touch can overwhelm hearing,
with the passionate kiss of the one that tells me she love me.

And you, Paris, be witness
of this oarth of everlasting love.
Il y a une chouse que je ne t'ai jamais dite:
avec tout mon coeur, je t'aime, Julie.


The last two verses are in French, they mean:
"There's a thing I've never told you:
with all my heart, I love you, Julie".

Author's Note

外人 (Gaijin)
Ok, so there are two enjambements (you have to read them as linked to the verse where they are AND the verse that came before, you'll get two different meanings this way, that's the point), the first is "sweetly" at the beginning of the second stanza, and "alone/only" at the beginning of the third, it has a / because in Italian the word "solo" means both of the words but in English I had to use the two words to make the enjembement make sense :(

Its very sweet an romantic. I, myself being French much enjoyed reading it in a different language. It's quite well written. An I look forward to reading more work from you. Excellent job with the translation also. Aussi, j'espere que vous ecrivez plus de poesie en francais.

this is a lovely poem. I am always impressed with those who can write in multiple languages. I can barley manage one.

Thank you very much :)
A beautiful poem. I like when you write in two languages. Give the reader opportunity to look at new words with some understanding. Good to know love and roam the old cities. Thank you for the outstanding poem of love.
