Birds are not deserving emblems of freedom
Even if they ride the wind and travel far
They are first and foremost pests, liked winged rats
Who pillage my garden and sully my hat!
They are not the reason I'm feeling light
See, I am the first man to dream of flight
Early in the morning, when Eloise is bathing
I can only hear her song, melodious
The courtyard where she choirs is out of reach of climbers
Oh! How I wish to catch a glimpse of Eloise!
This, the true reason I'm feeling light
Yes, I am the first man to dream of flight
And even if the gift of levitation
Would allow me to see beyond the horizon
My gaze would rather linger behind the trees
To rest upon the breast of Eloise
