Une aube affaiblie
Verse par les champs
La mélancolie
Des soleils couchants.
La mélancolie
Berce de doux chants
Mon cœur qui s'oublie
Aux soleils couchants.
Et d'étranges rêves,
...
Défilent, pareils
À des grands soleils
Couchants sur les grèves.

Ein gedämpftes Morgengrauen
Vergießt durch die Felder
Die Schwermut
Der untergehenden Sonnen.
Mit süßen Liedern
Wiegt die Schwermut
Mein Herz, das sich vergißt
bei untergehenden Sonnen.
Und seltsame Träume,
...
Ziehen, gleich
Großen untergehenden Sonnen,
An den Stränden vorbei.
