Original text and translations

French text Jouissance vous donnerai Mon ami et vous mènerai La où prétend votre espérance. Vivante ne vous laisserai; Encore quand morte serai, L'esprit en aura souvenance.

English translation I will give you joy my friend, and will take you There where your hope lies. I will not leave you while I live. And, when I am dead, My spirit will still remember. (trans. Timmi O'Danaos & Donna Ferrentes)

English translation (verse) Love’s climax will I give to you My friend and I will lead you to The target of your deep desire. Alive I will not you eschew, E’en when my time on Earth is through, Love’s spirit will remain afire. Translation by Thomas Daughton
