Pour ma mère

Il y a plus de fleurs
Pour ma mère en mon cœur
Que dans tous les vergers
Plus de merles rieurs
Pour ma mère en mon cœur
Que dans le monde entier
Et bien plus de baisers
Pour ma mère en mon cœur
Qu'on en pourrait donner
 
Translation

For my mother

There are more flowers,
For my mother, in my heart,
That in all the orchards
More laughing blackbirds
For my mother in my heart
That all over the world
And so much more kisses
For my mother, in my heart
That anyone could give

I would suggest, for the last verse : "That anyone could give", so we would have the same syllable count. "That we can give" sounds a little abrupt, IMO.

I meant IMVHO.

I am glad you read the translation I insert.
And I agree with your suggestions.
Corrected.
Thank you.
