by ahcene mariche
The present you offered me is poisoned
You should know this oh! The beneficent!
It shines like a star
A frame as nice as a parapet
You admire it so much
For me it is worthless
You need to impress others
Always looking for someone prestigious
But I need someone tender
If she doesn’t fulfil my ardour
Deep feelings will bind us for ever
Why all this resentment?
Your tongue, eyes and heart
Brought you only troubles
Your wishes, needs and fervours
Are the products of your aspirations
Tell me if all
That is high is worthy
You know well my deep thoughts
I beg you to leave me
You have to join the lucky
Her heart, mind and temper
I have all I wish for
Bright, charming and soft
All the best qualities
Youth, beauty and height
Don’t mean a lot for me
It’s all over, we agree!
Our ways are well drawn
Seven years have gone
A past witnessing our love
And racking your brain
You, who led our hopes to the ruin,
ahcene mariche
