Our translations: ENG

Nous nous aimerons tant que nous tairons nos mots,
en nous tendant la main, quand nous nous reverrons.
Vous serez ombragée par d'anciens rameaux
sur le banc que je sais où nous nous assoirons.
 ... 
Donc nous nous assoirons sur ce banc, tous deux seuls,
 ... 
D'un long moment, ô mon amie, vous n'oserez...
Que vous me serez douce et que je tremblerai...

(Sung text translation for setting by L. Boulanger)

See original

Language: English after the French (Français)

We will love each other so much that we won't speak 
but just stretch out our hands to each other when we see each other again. 
You will be in the shadow of ancient branches, 
on the bench where I know we will sit.
