1. Calme des nuits
 (Sung text)
by Charles Camille Saint-Saëns (1835 - 1921), "Calme des nuits", op. 68 (Deux chœurs) no. 1 (1882), published 1883 [ SATB chorus and piano ad libitum ]
Language: French (Français) 
Calme des nuits, fraîcheur des soirs,
Vaste scintillement des mondes,
Grand silence des antres noirs
Vous charmez les âmes profondes.

L'éclat du soleil, la gaité,
Le bruit plaisent aux plus futiles;
Le poète seul est hanté
Par l'amour des choses tranquilles.

1. Tranquilidad de las noches
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Tranquilidad de las noches, frescor de las tardes
Vasto centelleo de los mundos
Gran silencio de los antros negros
Encantáis a las almas profundas

El brillo del sol, la alegría
El ruido gusta a los más futiles
Sólo el poeta está habitado
Por el amor de las cosas tranquilas.

2. Les fleurs et les arbres
 (Sung text)
by Charles Camille Saint-Saëns (1835 - 1921), "Les fleurs et les arbres", op. 68 (Deux chœurs) no. 2 (1882), published 1883 [ SATB chorus and piano ad libitum ]
Language: French (Français) 
Les fleurs et les arbres, 
Les bronzes, les marbres, 
Les ors, les émaux,
La mer, les fontaines,
Les monts et les plaines
Consolent nos maux.

Nature éternelle,
Tu semble plus belle 
Au sein des douleurs!
Et l'art nous domine,
Sa flamme illumine
Le rire et les pleurs.

2. Las flores y los árboles
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Las flores y los árboles
los bronces y los mármoles
Los oros y los esmaltes
El mar y las fuentes
Los montes y los llanos
Consuelan nuestros males

Naturaleza eterna
Pareces más hermosa
En medio del dolor
Y el arte nos domina
Su llama ilumina
La risa y el llanto.
