Я долго стоял неподвижно,
В далёкие звёзды вглядясь, —
Меж теми звездами и мною
Какая-то связь родилась.

Я думал… не помню, что думал;
Я слушал таинственный хор,
И звёзды тихонько дрожали,
И звёзды люблю я с тех пор…

Un soir, j’admirais en silence 
Les feux dont la nuit se parait, 
Des astres magiques puissance, 
Un charme vers eux m’attirait. 
Qu’était-ce ? 
Je ne puis le dire. 
Des cieux j’entendais les accords. 
Des astres plus doux semblaient luire ! 
Et j’aime la nuit depuis lors 
Et j’aime, oui j’aime la nuit depuis lors!
