let me fall in love with my fig tree

How beautiful my fig tree is, truly, 
It is shaped like the arches of a cathedral,
In a verticality, full of symmetries,
Let me fall in love with my fig tree,

He seems to think deeply like Socrates,
It seems to stop time, like a statue,
On the light that is like birds,
Let me fall in love with my fig tree,

How beautiful my fig tree is, surely,
He seems to caress the beauty of the world, then
He appeases the city of its natural tranquility,
Let me fall in love with my fig tree,

My fig tree has more secrets than me, baby
It includes the silence of happy women,
Its leaves like fans capture the wind,
Reflect the immense serenity of the jealous sun,
Let me fall in love with my fig tree.




Qu’il est beau mon figuier, vraiment, 
Il se dessine comme les arches d’une cathédrale,
Dans une verticalité, pleine de symétries,
Laissez-moi tomber amoureux de mon figuier,

Il semble penser profondément comme Socrate,
Il semble arrêter le temps, comme une statue,
Sur la lumière qui se pose  comme des oiseaux,
Laissez-moi tomber amoureux de mon figuier,

Qu’il est beau mon figuier, assurément,
Il semble caresser la beauté du monde, puis
Il apaise la ville de son immobilité naturelle,
Laissez-moi tomber amoureux de mon figuier,

Mon figuier a plus de secrets que moi, chérie,
Il comprend le silence des femmes heureuses,
Ses feuilles telles des éventails capturent le vent,
Reflètent la sérénité immense du soleil jaloux,
Laissez-moi tomber amoureux de mon figuier.

Awesome tribute to a tree many would take for granted. We don't have any where I live so I've never actually seen one

Plenty of imagery Yann, like the olive tree the fig tree is biblical. Both are symbolic. I like what you love about your special tree and will study it in French version! Say fromage! :) I love date shakes

Fig is a popular tree, referred in the Bible many times. You have every reason to fall in love with your fig tree. Hope it produces fruits in abundance. A beautifully composed poem, dear Yaan.

I do not know what type of figs your country produces. Here in Malta the fig season has two kinds and of short duration. I prefer the early type which is juicy and delicious. Lovely poem.

Trees carry so many secrets you are right, theyv heard so much that we did not, what a beautiful poem so well written in the most seamless manner. I love especially “ How beautiful my fig tree is, surely, He seems to caress the beauty of the world,” so soothing and comforting to read this. Sending you light alwYs
