Source language: French

Ã€ une inconnue qui passe,
N'en garder aucune trace,
Sinon celle du plaisir
Sans rien attendre en retour,
Ni Ã©gard,ni grand amour,
Pas mÃªme l'espoir d'Ãªtre aimÃ©,
Mais savoir donner,
Donner sans reprendre,
Ne rien faire qu'apprendre
Apprendre Ã aimer,
Aimer sans attendre,
Aimer Ã tout prendre,
Apprendre Ã sourire,
Rien que pour le geste,
Sans vouloir le reste
Et apprendre Ã Vivre
Et s'en aller.
Savoir attendre,
GoÃ»ter Ã ce plein bonheur
Qu'on vous donne comme par erreur,
Tant on ne l'attendait plus.

Title	Knowing how to suffer
Translation English Translated by guilon	Target language: English To an unknown woman passing by, Keeping no trace of her, But the one of pleasure, Not expecting anything in return, Not regard, nor great love, Not even hope to be loved, But being able to give, Giving without taking back, Doing nothing but learning Learning how to love, Loving without expecting, Loving until you take everything Learning how to smile, Just for the gesture, Not wanting the rest of it And learning how to Live and how to leave. Being able to wait, Tasting this full happiness That you are given as if by mistake, More than you expected anymore.
Remarks about the translation	Dear expert, if you have to edit too many lines of this translation, I'd rather see it rejected and done by someone else. I don't mean to waste anyone's time". By the way, "at a passing..." because the previous sentence (suppressed in this request) was something like "savoir sourire... Ã une femme qui passe". Note from validator: I only made 3-4 small corrections - you did great!
