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 splendour, 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.
The original song, using the same guitar accompaniment, can be heard in this video, performed by the arranger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjbJ94k_ZcI.
