Love poems in French and Spanish

Love poems in French and Spanish.

French is the language of love; in part, due to its musicality, its sweetness, but also to the obsession of the great French poets of romanticism.

In this section we will give an account of the best French love poems, both in their original version and translated into Spanish. The choice of poems is subjective, even capricious, we could say, since many of them rarely participate in the most popular anthologies and collections of love poems.

Before moving on to the list of what, at least for us, are the most representative love poems in French and Spanish, we open with some devastating verses by Charles Baudelaire:

I know there are eyes devastated by cruel melancholy
Who do not keep hidden any precious secret,
Beautiful chests without jewels, medallions without relics;
emptier and more distant, oh heavens!, than those two eyes of yours.

Je sais qu’il est des yeux, des plus mélancoliques,
Who does not recèlent point of précieux secrets;
Beaux écrins sans joyaux, médaillons sans reliques,
Plus vines, plus depths que vous-mêmes, ô Cieux!
