Pleurons nos chagrins, chacun le nôtre
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG GER
Pleurons nos chagrins, chacun le nôtre,
Une larme tombe, puis une autre,
Toi, qui pleures-tu ? Ton doux pays,
Tes parents lointains, ta fiancée.
Moi, mon existence dépensée
    En vœux trahis.

Pleurons nos chagrins, chacun le nôtre.
Une larme tombe, puis une autre.
Semons dans la mer ces pâles fleurs.
À notre sanglot qui se lamente 
Elle répondra par la tourmente
    Des flots hurleurs.

Pleurons nos chagrins, chacun le nôtre.
Une larme tombe, puis une autre.
Le flux de la mer en est grossi
Et d'une salure plus épaisse,
Depuis si longtemps que notre espèce
    Y pleure ainsi.

Pleurons nos chagrins, chacun le nôtre.
Une larme tombe, puis une autre.
Peut-être toi-même, ô triste mer,
Mer au goût de larme âcre et salée,
Es-tu de la terre inconsolée
    Le pleur amer.
