Rappelle‑toi, quand l'Aurore craintive
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG
Rappelle-toi, quand l'Aurore craintive Ouvre au Soleil son palais enchanté ; Rappelle-toi, lorsque la nuit pensive Passe en rêvant sous son voile argenté ; À l'appel du plaisir lorsque ton sein palpite, Aux doux songes du soir lorsque l'ombre t'invite. Écoute au fond des bois Murmurer une voix : Rappelle-toi. Rappelle-toi, lorsque les destinées M'auront de toi pour jamais séparé, Quand le chagrin, l'exil et les années Auront flétri ce cœur désespéré ; Songe à mon triste amour, songe à l'adieu suprême ! L'absence ni le temps ne sont rien quand on aime. Tant que mon cœur battra, Toujours il te dira: Rappelle-toi. Rappelle-toi, quand sous la froide terre Mon cœur brisé pour toujours dormira; Rappelle-toi, quand la fleur solitaire Sur mon tombeau doucement s'ouvrira. [Je ne te verrai plus; mais]1 mon âme immortelle Reviendra près de toi comme une sœur fidèle. Écoute, dans la nuit, Une voix qui gémit : Rappelle-toi.

Remember, when fearful Dawn
Language: French (Français) after the French (Français)
Remember, when fearful Dawn opens her enchanted palace to the Sun; remember, when pensive night comes dreaming past under her silvery veil, when your breast trembles at the call of pleasure, when the shade invites you to sweet evening dreams. Listen, a voice murmurs deep in the woods: "Remember." Remember, when the fates have parted me from you forever; when sorrow, exile and years have wilted this desperate heart, think of my sad love, think of the final farewell! Absence and time are nought to people in love. As long as my heart beats, it will go one telling you: "Remember." Remember when my broken body sleeps forever under the cold earth; remember when the solitary flower gently opens on my grave. I will not see you again, but my immortal soul will return to your side like a faithful sister. Listen, in the night, to the moaning voice: "Remember."
