without my permission

Speak to the primrose,
Of this girl,
This princess
Haunting your thoughts
Without my permission,

Speak to the primrose,
From this satin wine
This nectar that flows 
In your glass,
Without my permission,

Talk with the primrose
You can’t live 
Without thinking of them
They never lied to you,
You know it today.





Parles en à la primevère,
De cette fille,
Cette princesse
Qui hante tes pensées
Sans ta permission,

Parles en à la primevère,
De ce vin satiné
Ce nectar qui coule 
Dans ton verre,
Sans ta permission,

Parles en à la primevère
Tu ne peux vivre 
Sans penser à eux,
Ils ne t’ont jamais menti,
Tu le sais aujourd’hui.

If something or someone is so very fascinating and alluring, you needn't wait for anyone's permission to love it or talk to him/her. Beautiful thoughts, dear Yaan.
