C'est un calme qu'on ne peut dire

Available translation(s): ENG
C’est un calme qu’on ne peut dire
C’est à peine si tout respire,
C’est un bonheur Tiède, engourdi,
Comme au milieu du Paradis
Chaque feuillage est entouré
d’un plaisir limpide et doré.
Ah! quel puissant amour ruisselle!
Toute la force universelle
Glisse au jardin et vient baigner
le feuilles de mon marronnier
C’est un calme qu’on ne peut dire.

It is a calm that no one can name
Language: English  after the French (Français)
It is a calm that no one can name
Everything hardly breathes,
It is a warm happiness, numb,
As in the middle of paradise
[All of the] greenery is surrounded
by a clear and golden pleasure.
Ah! what [a] powerful love is flowing!
All the power [of the universe]
Slips into the garden and comes to bathe
the leaves of my chestnut tree
It is a calm that no one can name.
