the most beautiful girls

The most beautiful girls,
Are those we imagine to love,
The ones we would like to invite to the restaurant
To drink champagne and grands crus,

The most beautiful girls, I know some,
Are the ones we imagine loving you,
They jump in taxis in Manhattan
To go see romantic comedies,

The most beautiful girls, you see them,
Are the ones you expect in your dreams,
The ones you hug in kitchens
Between two quails with grapes and cheese,

The most beautiful girls, from Paris, or Medellin
Are those who dream of loving you,
Those who love forbidden fruits, melons,
The pineapples and fruits of ice sorbets,

The most beautiful girls, I know others,
Are those you will never understand,
They have all the qualities of sinners,
They sink body and soul, like beasts
In the libraries you choose.

The most beautiful girls, the more intelligent
Are those to whom you offer roses,
Who want them undressed on a train,
To arrive tomorrow in Strasbourg or Brest,
They love crossing France from coast to coast.


Les plus belles filles,
Sont celles qu’on imagine aimer,
Celles qu’on voudrait inviter au restaurant
Pour boire du champagne et des grands crus,

Les plus belles filles, j’en connais certaines,
Sont celles qu’on imagine vous aimer,
Elles sautent dans des taxis à Manhattan
Pour aller voir des comédies romantiques,

Les plus belles filles, vous les voyez,
Sont celles que vous attendez dans vos rêves,
Celles que vous étreignez dans des cuisines
Entre deux cailles aux raisins et le fromage,

Les plus belles filles, de Paris, ou Medellin
Sont celles qui rêvent de vous aimer,
Celles qui aiment les fruits défendus, les melons,
Les ananas et les fruits des sorbets glacés,

Les plus belles filles, j’en connais d’autres,
Sont celles que vous ne comprendrez jamais,
Elles ont toutes les qualités des pécheresses,
Elles sombrent corps et âmes, comme des bêtes
Dans les bibliothèques que vous choisissez.

Les plus belles filles, les plus intelligentes
Sont celles auxquelles vous offrez des roses,
Qui veulent qu’on les déshabille dans un train,
Pour arriver demain à Strasbourg ou à Brest,
Elles aiment traverser la France de long en large.

Burgundy so fine, or champana instead of wine, and roses, yes ingredients you need for an intelligent beautiful French girl! Why not Yann. Indulge. Hope you are having a wonderful Holiday Season, I hear Christmas is spectacular in Paris! Your poem sounds lovely in Frances. Blessings ~Amiga Anaya

'The most beautiful girls, you see them, Are the ones you expect in your dreams, The ones you hug in kitchens Between two quails with grapes and cheese,' Those beautiful girls are the ones you want to marry. A magnificent poem Yann.

The most beautiful women have beautiful minds that think beautiful thoughts for their beautiful poems they share with their admirers. Lovely poetry, Yann. It was an international poem. I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! my friend. Bill
