by Émile Millet (1813 - 1882)

Adieu
Language: French (Français) 
La brise s'élève,
La voile se tend,
La mer se soulève,
La barque m'attend.
Loin de cette plage
Bien aimé rivage
L'amour guide, hélas !
Mes vœux et mes pas.
La brise s'élève,
La voile se tend,
La mer se soulève,
La barque m'attend.
Adieu douce terre,
Adieu mon pays,
Au revoir, ma mère,
Adieu mes amis !

Mais je jour s'efface
Et bientôt la nuit ;
me cache la trace
Du vaisseau qui fuit.
Dans ma rêverie
Seul je suis resté,
Et c'est vous, Marie,
Qui m'avez quitté.
La nuit est profonde ;
Mon front soucieux
Incliné vers l'onde
Y cherche les cieux !
Adieu douce terre etc.
