Original text and translations

French.png French text

Mon amie un jour désarma le dieu Mars
qui dormait sous la verte ramée
et s'arma de l'arme et de la cuirasse,
tenant en main la hâche envenimée.
Mars, s'éveillant, lui dit:
"Ma bien aimée, je connais la puissance de tes yeux,
pourquoi t'es-tu armée contre moi?
Vu que tu peux me vaincre toute nue."

One day my girlfriend disarmed the god Mars,
who was sleeping by a grassy bank,
taking his weapons and breast-plate,
and grasping his poisoned axe.
Waking, Mars said to her, "I'm familiar
with the power of your eyes love;
Why are you accosting me in a suit of armour?
I wish you could conquer me in your birthday suit".
