L'aurore

(Sung text for setting by C. Widor)

See original

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: CAT CHI ENG ENG

I
L'aurore s'allume ;
L'ombre épaisse fuit ;
Le rêve et la brume
Vont où va la nuit ;
Paupières et roses
S'ouvrent demi-closes ;
Du réveil des choses
On entend le bruit.

Tout chante et murmure,
Tout parle à la fois,
Fumée et verdure,
Les nids et les toits ;
Le vent parle aux chênes,
L'eau parle aux fontaines ;
Toutes les haleines
Deviennent des voix !

 ... 

III
9. Ô terre ! ô merveilles
Dont l'éclat joyeux 
Emplit nos oreilles,
Eblouit nos yeux !
Bords où meurt la vague,
Bois qu'un souffle élague,
De l'horizon vague
Plis mystérieux !

 ... 

Saint livre où la voile
Qui flotte en tous lieux,
Saint livre où l'étoile
Qui rayonne aux yeux,
Ne trace, ô mystère !
Qu'un nom solitaire,
Qu'un nom sur la terre,
Qu'un nom dans les cieux !

晨曦火焰在；/ 黑暗已逃窜；

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Widor)

See original

Language: Chinese (中文) after the French (Français)

I
晨曦火焰在；
黑暗已逃窜；
梦境与雾霭
去寻黑夜晚；
玫瑰和眼睑
半开半闭兼；
声音响耳边
万物醒不眠。

共唱语声低，
交谈是场景，
烟雾与绿意，
巢穴和屋顶；
风对橡树言，
水语对清泉；
呼吸发自然
成为世间声！

 ... 

三
地球有奇迹
欢乐是其光
充满我耳里，
吾等眼睛忙！
波浪宿海岸，
疾风树木断，
模糊地平线
褶皱添迷茫！

 ... 

圣书所流布
飘浮四纵横，
星星在圣书？
眼睛亮晶晶，
不要追神秘！
名字多孤立，
名字在大地，
天上有其名！
