Ma vie en ce séjour
Est un ruisseau limpide
Qui coule sur la mousse
Et reflète le jour.
Aimons mes soeurs, aimons, car la vie est rapide
Et le temps est perdu qui passe sans amour.

Sisters, let us love
Language: English  after the French (Français)
Here, my life is a limpid brook
which flows amongst the moss
and reflects the day.
Sisters, let us love, for life is fleeting,
and time is lost which is spent without love.
