I wrote this poem and tried to translate, but i think some of it is lost with my efforts!
Une cent rêves entre nous et la distance que nous créons
par le temps et espace et circonstance nous tenons comme nuit et jour
je ne peux pas dormir ce soir comme à travers les rivages vous attendent aucun sourire,
aucun baiser,
aucun contact de main,
mais pendant que le monde tourne le soleil brûle son premier baiser
battement de beaucoup de coeurs aiment le nôtre
beaucoup de battements que je manquerai

ca ma plu et je comprendre ce que tu veux dire. travaille un peu sur l'ordre des mos si tu veux, mais enfin c'est de la poesie, et ces chose n'ont pas d'importance, c'est la coeur qui parle, n'est ce pas? |

One hundred dreams between us and the distance which we create by time and spaces and circumstance we hold like night and day I cannot sleep this evening as through the shores await you no smile, no kiss, no contact of hand, but while the world turns the sun burns its first kiss beat of much of hearts like ours many beats which I will miss |

"En Anglais cil te plait je ne comprende pas!
ooo reeeli, zat iz sterayndge, zen ow cum yo erote zis in ze Frensh zen?"
The only other bit i know is 'plus lentement sil te plait, je ne comprende pas!'
Ps thanks to femme for the translation - tis be au ti ful xx  |

In English it was:
100 dreams between us and the distance we create
through time and space and circumstance we stand as night and day
i cannot sleep tonight whilst across the shores you wait
no smile, no kiss, no touch of hand
but whilst the world turns and the sun burns its first kiss
many hearts beat as ours
many beats which I miss
...as you see, i'm not quite their yet and sometimes, there is no direct translation |

If your man is looking for a good meal while he's out there, tell him to try "Le DUB" in the old town, just off the Promenade Des Anglais, behind the opera house. Good food, good beer and great mediterranean atmosphere..
Unless he's slumming it at the Negresco |

Nothing like throwing yourself in at the deep end. Translating a poem definitely needs interpreting rather than a simple translation as has already been said. |
