Dans un baiser, l'onde au rivage
Language: French (Français)
Dans un baiser, l'onde au rivage Dit ses douleurs: Pour consoler la fleur sauvage, L'aube a des pleurs; Le vent du soir conte sa plainte Aux vieux cyprès, La tourterelle au térébinthe Ses longs regrets. Aux flots dormants, quand tout repose, Hors la douleur, La lune parle, et dit la cause De sa pâleur. Ton dôme blanc, Sainte-Sophie, Parle au ciel bleu, Et, tout rêveur, le ciel confie Son rêve à Dieu. Arbre ou tombeau, colombe ou rose, Onde ou rocher, Tout, ici-bas, a quelque chose Pour s'épancher... Moi, je suis seul, et rien au monde Ne me répond, Rien que ta voix morne et profonde, Sombre Hellespont!

Solo!
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the French (Français)
In un bacio, l'onda alla riva Dice i suoi dolori: Per consolare il fiore selvaggio, L'alba ha delle lacrime; Il vento della sera racconto il suo lamento Ai vecchi cipressi, La tortora al quercia i Suoi lunghi dispiaceri. Ai fiotti dormienti, quando tutto riposa, Fuori il dolore, La luna parla, e dice la causa Del suo pallore. Il tuo duomo bianco, Santa-Sophie, Parla al cielo blu, E, tutto sognante, il cielo confida il Suo sogno a Dio. Albero o sepolcro, colomba o rosa, Onda o roccia, Tutto, quaggiù, ha qualche cosa Da sfogarsi... Io, sono solo, e niente al mondo mi risponde, Niente che la tua voce cupa e profonda, Affonda Hellespont!
