NELL translation
Your purple rose in your brilliant sun, Oh June, sparkles as if intoxicated. Bend toward me, too, your golden cup: My heart and your rose are alike. Under the soft shelter of shady boughs sounds a voluptuous sigh; And turtle doves coo in the spreading wood, oh my heart, their amorous lament. How sweet is your pearl in the flaming sky, star of the pensive night!
But sweeter still is the vivid light which shines in my heart, my charmed heart! The singing sea, along the shore, will silence its everlasting murmur. `Ere in my heart, dear love, oh Nell, your image will cease to bloom!
