[EN]<br><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: courier new,monospace;"><pre style="font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
On July 30th, 1904, Berceuse (Lullaby), a song for voice and piano by<br>Argentine composer Julián Aguirre, was published in the magazine Bibelot.<br>The French text is as follows:<br><br>Dors bel ange en qui j’espère<br>
Douce image de ton père<br>comme en un divin miroir;<br>Il me semble encor le voir<br><br>Un rayon vermeil se joue<br>sur ta lèvre et sur ta joue:<br>j’ai seché tes yeux en pleurs<br>En t’offrant ces belles fleurs<br><br>
Et tandis qu’en ton sourire<br>l’innocente paix respire<br>Perle humide en tes cills d’or<br>Une larme brille encor<br>Une larme brille encor<br><br>And translated (poorly) into English as something like:<br><br>Sleep beautiful angel in whom I hope<br>
Sweet image of your father<br>like a divine mirror<br>I see myself in you<br><br>A cherry rouge / ray plays<br>on your lips and on your cheek<br>I dried your weeping eyes<br>By offering you these beautiful flowers<br><br>
And there amidst your smile<br>and innocent peaceful breaths<br>a wet pearl rests on your golden eyelashes<br>A tear still shines<br>A tear still shines<br><br>I am trying to find the Robert Burns original. I have searched this digital<br>
collection already:<br><a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/files/18500/18500-h/18500-h.htm#letterCXC" target="_blank">http://www.gutenberg.org/files/18500/18500-h/18500-h.htm#letterCXC</a><br><br>Can anyone direct me to a Burns expert that might help me to solve this<br>
mystery. The French translation may have been a loose adaptation of the<br>Burns original and I wouldn't be surprised if this came from a longer poem<br>and was adapted out of context. I also wouldn't be surprised if Aguirre<br>
pulled this from a collection that erroneously attributed this poem to<br>Burns. It may have been written by someone else.<br><br>My sincere thanks to anyone that can give me a clue or two.<br><br>Allison L. Weiss<br>Illinois, U.S.A.<br>

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Hi, Allison!</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">It's my pleasure to welcome you to the neighborhood on behalf of all Lowlanders.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">That is certainly a fine website you have there, not to mention the fine voice. I was quite taken aback by your interpretation of "Dona, Dona," which I only know as a Yiddish song.</span><br>
<br>Good luck with your search!<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Regards,</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
