Dors lentement avec des rêves
Language: French (Français)
Dors lentement avec des rêves
Légers de l’air pur respiré
Le long des rives fraternelles
Où nos pas doubles ont erré.
Dors doucement avec des songes
Parfumés des fleurs du chemin
Qui ce soir encore dans l’ombre
Sont odorantes de tes mains.
Dors seule en rêve avec toi-même.
Sois ton propre songe ; il n’est pas
D’autre couronne pour ta tête
Que le cercle nu de tes bras.

Sleep slowly with floating dreams
Language: English after the French (Français)
Sleep slowly with floating dreams
of the pure air we breathed
along the fraternal riverbanks
where we wandered on foot together.
Sleep gently with dreams
perfumed by the path-side flowers
which this evening still in the shadow
carry the scent of your hands.
Sleep alone dreaming with yourself.
Be your own dream; there is not
any other crown fit for your head
than the naked circle of your arms.
