Puisque le ciel t'envoie / Since Heaven Has Sent You

English language translation of Virginie Sampeur's poem "Puisque le ciel t'envoie" by Litzy Rafael-Osorio

Original Work

Puisque le ciel t'envoie

Fortune, amour et joie,

Tu peux bien m'oublier;

Vis sans inquiétude,

Et dans la solitude,

Pour toi je vais prier !


Si le bonheur te quitte,

Reçois-tu la visite

De la sombre douleur,

Ami, pense à moi; vole

Vers celle qui console,

Viens pleurer sur mon coeur.

Translated Work

Since heaven has sent you

Fortune, love and joy too,

You may well forget me;

Live without restlessness,

And in my emptiness,

I’ll devote prayers to thee!


If happiness does flee,

And gives you melancholy

Before you fall apart,

Friend, remember me; fly

Towards she on whom you can rely,

Come cry upon my heart.


Translated by Litzy Rafael-Osorio, 2023
