French (Français) translation of Du, der ichs nicht sage

by Anton von Webern (1883 - 1945), "Du, der ichs nicht sage", op. 8 (Zwei Lieder nach Gedichten von Rainer Maria Rilke) no. 1 (1910)

Note: this is a translation of one multi-text setting.

Du, der ichs nicht sage, daß ich bei Nacht
weinend liege,
deren Wesen mich müde macht
wie eine Wiege.
Du, die mir nicht sagt, wenn sie wacht
Meinetwillen:
wie, wenn wir diese Pracht
ohne zu stillen
in uns ertrügen?

Toi, à qui je ne dis pas que la nuit
je suis étendu en pleurs,
dont la nature me lasse
comme un berceau.
Toi, qui ne me dis pas quand elle veille
à cause de moi :
Qu'en serait-il de cette magnificence,
si, sans rester silencieux,
nous l'endurions en nous ?

Regarde les amants,
une fois qu'ils ont commencé l'aveu,
comme ils se mettent vite à mentir.
