Après un rêve
(After a Dream)
by
Gabiel Faurè
Dans un sommeil que charmait ton image
Je rêvais le bonheur, ardent mirage
Tes yeux étaint plus doux, ta voix pure et sonore,
Tu rayonnais comme un ciel éclairé par l'aurore;
Tu m'appelais et je quittais la terre
Pour m'enfuir avec toi vers la lumière,
Les cieux pour nous entr'ouvraient leurs nues
Splendeurs inconnues, lueurs divines entre vues
Hélas! Hélas, triste réveil des songes
Je t'appelle, ô nuit, rends moi tes mensonges,
Reviens, reviens radieuse,
Reviens, ô nuit mystérieuse!
In a sleep charmed by your image
I dreamed of happiness, fiery mirage;
Your eyes were softer, your voice pure and sound
You radiated like a sky lit by dawn;
You called me, and I left the earth
To flee with you towards the light;
The heavens for us opened their clouds;
Unknown splendors, divine glows glimpsed ...
Alas, alas, sad awakening from daydreams!
I say to you, O night, give me your lies;
Come back, come back radiant
Come back, O mysterious night
