Larmes

(Sung text for setting by G. Fauré)

See original

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.
Peut-être toi-même, ô triste mer,
Mer au goût de larme âcre et salée,
Es-tu de la terre inconsolée
    Le pleur amer.

Llàgrimes

(Sung text translation for setting by G. Fauré)

See original

Language: Catalan (Català) after the French (Français)

Plorem les nostres penes, cadascú la nostra,
cau una llàgrima, després una altra.
Tu, per qui plores? El teu dolç país,
els pares llunyans, la teva promesa.
Jo, la meva existència malversada
       en vots traïts.

Plorem les nostres penes, cadascú la nostra,
cau una llàgrima, després una altra.
Escampem al mar aquestes pàl•lides flors.
Al nostres sanglots que es lamenten
ella respondrà amb la tempesta
       d’udolants onades.

 ... 

Plorem les nostres penes, cadascú la nostra,
cau una llàgrima, després una altra.
Potser tu mateixa, oh mar trista,
mar amb gust de llàgrima, acre i salat,
ets de la terra desconsolada
       el plor amarg.

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1-2,4 of the original text.
