Know, I am not looking for an angel,

Would you go to Italy, my angels,
Manon, Sophie, O pretty girls,
Irène, Suzanne, or Stéphanie,
Alexandria, Alexandra, Mélanie,
Judith, Pauline, Clara, Morgane,
Is it the intoxication of Monbazillac?
Know, I am not looking for an angel.

Cocoon of silk the caterpillar spins
Intricately lovely a work of art
This is the moment change begins
Metamorphose will surely start
Magical chrysalis full of life
One day a fine beauty will emerge
Butterfly magic with wings so bright
Happiness complete sadness purged
Exquisite wings are a godly gift
Fluttering in warmth, summer kissed.
