Translation
Birds, if every year
you leave our climates
as soon as the sad winter
strips our groves;
It isn’t solely
for a change of leaves
and to avoid the great frosts;
but your destiny
simply doesn’t allow you to love
outside the season of flowers.
And when that season is past,
you seek it elsewhere
so as to love the whole year through.
