Я думал, сердце позабыло

Я думал, сердце позабыло
Способность легкую страдать,
Я говорил: тому, что было,
Уж не бывать! уж не бывать!
Прошли [восторги]1, и печали,
[И легковерные]2 мечты...
Но вот опять затрепетали
Пред мощной властью красоты.

J'ai pensé que mon cœur avait oublié

J'ai pensé que mon cœur avait oublié
Sa capacité à souffrir facilement,
J'ai dit : ce qui a été,
Que cela n'arrive plus ! Que cela n'arrive plus !
Ils étaient partis, l'ivresse, le chagrin,
Les rêveries crédules...
Mais voici encore le frisson
Devant le puissant pouvoir de sa beauté.
