lyrics

Dans un sommeil que charmait ton image
Je rêvais le bonheur, ardent mirage;

[Drowsing spellbound with the vision of you
I dreamt of happiness, burning mirage,]

Tes yeux étaient plus doux, ta voix pure et sonore
Tu rayonnais comme un ciel éclairé par l'aurore;

[Your eyes were gentler, your voice was pure and sonorous
You shone like the dawn-lit sky]

Tu m'appelais, et je quittais la terre
Pour m'enfuir avec toi vers la lumière;

[You called me and I left the earth
To flee with you toward the light]

Les cieux pour nous entr'ouvraient leurs nues;
Splendeurs inconnues, lueurs divines entrevues...

[For us the heavens opened up their clouds
To reveal unknown splendours, glimpses of divine light...]

Hélas, hélas, triste réveil des songes!
Je t'appelle, ô nuit, rends-moi tes mensonges;

[Alas, alas, sad awakening from these dreams
I call out to you, oh night, give me back your lies]

Reviens, reviens radieuse
Reviens, ô nuit mysterieuse

[Come back, come back, radiant one
Come back mysterious night.]
