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.
