Lots of spirits in love
were coming to play gooseberry  

venaient = past tense plural 3rd person...so were coming

génie can be genie or genious, but her it's like the "génie" "the spirit" like in "Aladdine".......
the right meaning for "tenir la chandelle" is "to hold the candle" 
but there, it's more "to play gooseberry " !!!


hope I helped !!!
