by Paul Robiquet (1848 - 1928)

Oh ! ne finis jamais nuit clémente, nuit divine
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG LIT
Oh ! ne finis jamais nuit clémente, nuit divine
Soleil ne brille pas au fond de la colline...
Et laisse nous aimer encore.

Laisse nous laisse écouter
Dans l'ombre et le mystère,
Les voix, les tendres voix qui n'ont rien de la terre ;
Ne trouble pas nos rêves d'or
Oh ! ne finis jamais, nuit clémente, nuit divine... 
Oh ! ne finis jamais... jamais !

Ce qu'il faut à nos coeur, ô nuit, ce sont tes voiles,
C'est l'exquise pâleur qui tombe des étoiles
sur les amoureux à genoux.
C'est un mot commencé qui jamais ne s'achève.
C'est l'amour éternel mystérieux, sans trève.
Pour la terre immense et pour nous.
