La Nuit, sur le grand mystère
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CAT CHI ENG
La Nuit, [sur le grand]1 mystère,
Entr'ouvre ses écrins bleus :
Autant de fleurs sur la terre,
Que d'étoiles dans les cieux !

On voit ses ombres dormantes 
S'éclairer, à tous moments,
Autant par les fleurs charmantes
Que par les astres charmants.

Moi, ma Nuit au sombre voile 
N'a, pour charme et pour clarté,
Qu'une fleur et qu'une étoile :
Mon amour et ta beauté !

深奥之上夜色笼,/ 蓝色盒子半开合:
Language: Chinese (中文)  after the French (Français) 
深奥之上夜色笼,
蓝色盒子半开合:
多似地上鲜花丛,
如群星天上闪烁!
 
看见他的困倦影
所有时刻都照亮,
多如迷人鲜花丛
多如迷人星辰光。
 
我夜就在深幕中,
没有魅力和光明,
仅是一花和一星
君之美貌和吾情。
