Original text and translations

French.png French text

Autant en emporte le vent,
Qu’il n’a qu’un baiser seulement,
Combien qu’il soit donné de bouche,
Se le cœur ne donne la touche,
Ou y met son consentement,
Autant en emporte le vent.

English.png English translation

All will be gone with the wind:
If love to mere kisses is confined,
Countless though they be, they cannot bind:
If the heart be not rightly inclined,
All will be gone with the wind.

Translation by Mick Swithinbank
Dutch.png Dutch translation

’t is al vergeefse moeite,
hij heeft maar net een zoen,
wat men ook verder zou verzinnen,
’t is ’t hart, dat enkel slaat,
waar ’t zijn verlangen baat,
de rest is al vergeefse moeite.

Translation by Jan Wyns
