Au conditionnel

Conditional mood

I spent so many nights shining under a thousand suns,
gathering pollen from my bohemian flowers.
And under no circumstances would I alter the taste of this honey.
And still you're giving me a serious problem.
It's not like if you had changed the color of my sky,
but things are not what they used to be,
and it's not without regrets that I heard about this.
 
An information to be put in conditional,
still it is very likely that I love you.
 
And even if the rumour goes bolder every day,
screaming in my own house that you are a delight,
If the fact that you seem to be the one becomes obvious,
still my heart is bound by my old theorem,
It is with utmost regret that I can't help but to state it as such.
 
An information to be put in conditional,
still it is very likely that I love you.
 
Should I at last consider burning my wings?
Please don't think I balk out of sheer lazyness.
It's likely out of fear that I keep my spots,
but you tamed the leopard1
Mortals are so common2...
Soon I'll be ready, the most formal of men.
 
An information to be put in conditional,
still it is very likely that I love you.
 
  • 1. my attempt at replacing "chassez le naturel, il revient au galop" (chase the natural away, he'll gallop back to you) with "a leopard cannot change its spots".
    The original says "I chase the natural away but it falls into your arms"
  • 2. pun on "le commun des mortels" (your average joe)

Quite funny style. I hope I managed to carry some of it into the translation.
