Chère nuit

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: CAT ENG

Voici l'heure bientôt. Derrière la colline
    je vois le soleil qui décline
    et cache ses rayons jaloux ...
J'entends chanter l'âme des choses
    et les narcisses et les roses
m'apportent des parfums plus doux !
    Chére nuit aux clartés sereines
    toi que ramènes le tendre amant
    ah ! descends et voile la terre
de ton mystère calme et charmant.
    Mon bonheur renaît sous ton aile
Ô nuit plus belle que les beaux jours :
    Ah ! lève-toi pour faire encore
    briller l'aurore de mes amours ?

Nit estimada

Language: Catalan (Català) after the French (Français)

Aviat serà l’hora. Darrera el turó
	veig el sol que es pon
	i amaga els seus raigs gelosos...
Sento cantar a l’ànima de les coses
	i els narcisos i les roses
em porten els perfums més dolços!
	Nit estimada de les clarors serenes,
	que retornes el tendre amant,
	ah!, baixa i encobreix la terra
amb el teu misteri calmós i encisador.
	La meva felicitat reneix sota les teves ales,
oh nit més bella que els bells dies:
	Ah! Lleva’t per fer encara
	brillar l’aurora dels meus amors!
