Mon amour d'antan, vous souvenez-vous ? Nos cœurs ont fleuri tout comme deux roses Au vent printanier des baisers si doux. Vous souvenez-vous de ces vieilles choses ? Voyez-vous toujours en vos songes d'or Les horizons bleus, la mer soleilleuse Qui baisant vos pieds, lentement s'endort ? -- En vos songes d'or peut-être oublieuse ? Au rayon pâli des avrils passés Sentez-vous s'ouvrir la fleur de vos rêves, Bouquet d'odorants et de frais pensers ? Beaux avrils passés là-bas, sur les grêves ! Moi, je me réchauffe au bon souvenir, Pour qu'un sang plus jeune à mon cœur afflue, Et pour que je puisse aimer et bénir... Ô bon souvenir, mon cœur vous salue !
E. Chausson sets stanzas 1-3

Amor meu d’antany, te’n recordes? Els nostres cors floriren com dues roses al vent primaverenc amb tan dolces besades. Te’n recordes d’aquelles velles coses? Veus encara, en els teus somnis daurats, els blaus horitzons, la mar assolellada que besant els teus peus, s’adormia lentament? En els teus somnis daurats ets potser oblidosa? En els raigs empal·lidits dels abrils passats, sents com s’obre la flor dels teus somnis, pomell de flairants i frescos pensaments? Bells abrils passats allà baix, a la platja! Jo em rescalfo en el bon record perquè una sang més jove aflueixi al meu cor i perquè pugui estimar i beneir... Oh bon record, el meu cor et saluda!
