I got a rhyming Christmas poem translated into French by someone studying French and everything went ok but i'm worried that the meaning of the poem will be screwed up via the translation, purely due to it no longer rhyming. The person who will be reading the poem is fluent in both English and French. I really want the poem to read really nice when the lady in question opens her Christmas card so any help will be greatly appreciated.
French version -
Il peut sembler impossible,
pour empaqueter l'amour dedans ici,
mais envelopp? au sujet de ce bibelot,
est l'amour que je juge sinc?re.
Aussi s?r que No?l vient ;
Je pense ? vous toute l'ann?e,
et esp?re que la pens?e vous apportera,
une petite acclamation de vacances.
Pour les flocons de neige tombent,
la temp?rature laissera tomber,
peut aimer la subsistance vous chaud,
et soul?ve vos spiritueux
Original English version
It may seem impossible,
to package love in here,
but wrapped about this trinket,
is the love I hold sincere.
As sure as Christmas comes;
I think of you all year,
and hope that thought will bring you,
a little holiday cheer.
So as the snowflakes fall,
the temperature will drop,
may love keep you warm,
and lift your spirits up.
edit: I would prefer fluent French speakers to help, but any help would be massively impreciated.
