Une Sainte en son auréole
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG ENG
Une Sainte en son auréole,
Une Châtelaine en sa tour,
Tout ce que contient la parole
Humaine de grâce et d'amour.

La note d'or que fait entendre
[Un cor dans le lointain des bois]1 des bois,
Mariée à la fierté tendre
Des nobles Dames d'autrefois;

Avec cela le charme insigne
D'un frais sourire triomphant
Éclos [de]2 candeurs de cygne
Et des rougeurs de femme-enfant;

Des aspects nacrés, blancs et roses,
Un doux accord patricien:
Je vois, j'entends toutes ces choses
Dans son nom Carlovingien.

Note: Verlaine's young fiancee was named Mathilde, a name of Germanic origin. The Germanic dynasty known as the Carolingian included Charlemagne, and is closely associated with a great artistic flowering.

Una santa en la seva aurèola
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the French (Français) 
Una santa en la seva aurèola,
una castellana a la seva torre,
tot el que conté la paraula
humana de gràcia i d’amor.

La nota d’or que fa sentir
el corn a les llunyanies del bosc,
casada amb la tendra altivesa
de les nobles dames d’antany;

amb això, l’encís insigne
d’un fresc somriure triomfant
desclòs en el candor d’un cigne
i el rubor de dona-infant;

aspectes nacrats, blancs i roses,
una dolça aristocràtica harmonia:
jo veig, sento totes aquestes coses
en el seu nom carolingi.
