Earth, you were for me prison and paradise.
\nHere I met your scarlet balmy morns,
\nYou are my cradle, here I was born,
\nYou gave me warmth and frozen me sometimes.
\nMy suffering, my pain, my dreamy mood,
\nMy state of happiness, my whimsical delights,
\nAn unforgettable scent of the southern nights,
\nYou gave me everything including solitude\u2026
