Apollinaire, Guillaume: La Blanche Neige

Portre of Apollinaire, Guillaume

La Blanche Neige (French)

Les anges les anges dans le ciel

L'un est vêtu en officier

L'un est vêtu en cuisinier

Et les autres chantent

 

Bel officier couleur du ciel

Le doux printemps longtemps après Noël

Te médaillera d'un beau soleil

D'un beau soleil

 

Le cuisinier plume les oies

Ah ! tombe neige

Tombe et que n'ai-je

Ma bien-aimée entre mes bras

The White Snow (English)

The angels the angels in the sky

One’s dressed as an officer

One’s dressed as a chef today

And the others sing

 

Fine sky-coloured officer

Sweet Spring when Christmas is long gone

Will deck you with a lovely sun

          A lovely sun

 

The chef plucks geese

          Ah! Snowfalls hiss

          Fall and how I miss

My beloved in my arms
