Language: French (Français) after the Arabic (العربية)
[La pleine lune]1 avec son pâle enchantement
Extasiait la terre et charmait toutes choses ;
Les rossignols pleuraient dans le harem des roses,
Et nos cœurs dans la nuit se fondaient en aimant.

De volle maan met zijn bleke betovering
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the French (Français)
De volle maan met zijn bleke betovering
Brengt de aarde in extase en betovert alles,
De nachtegalen huilden in het rozenbed
En onze harten in de nacht smelten samen in liefde.
