The translation of the French is not quite right, I think. "If there were no trees at my window/to come and look into the deepest part of me/my heart, offered up to its burning laws/ would have ceased to beat long ago."
I can't read French, but translation obviously involves so much choice-making
Yes, but I think there are choices that are closer to the original in this case. If the original words matter!
