Un Amour qui se regarde dans un Miroir
[f16913221]
Un Amour qui se regarde dans un Miroir
Speculum, ut levis amans quidquid objicitur recipit
Loin des yeux, loin du cœur
Lontano dagli occhi lontano dal core
Lexos de los ojos lexos del coraçon
Ver uit de oogen, ver uit ’t hert
Far from your Eyes, far from your heart
Weit aus den augen vveit aus dem hertzen
