Rappelle-toi, quand l'Aurore craintive
Ouvre au Soleil son palais enchanté ;
Rappelle-toi, lorsque la nuit pensive
Passe en rêvant sous son voile argenté ;
À l'appel du plaisir lorsque ton sein palpite,
Aux doux songes du soir lorsque l'ombre t'invite.
Écoute au fond des bois
Murmurer une voix :
Rappelle-toi.
...
Rappelle-toi, quand sous la froide terre
Mon cœur brisé pour toujours dormira ;
Rappelle-toi, quand la fleur solitaire
Sur mon tombeau doucement s'ouvrira.
Tu ne me verras plus ; mais mon âme immortelle
Reviendra près de toi comme une sœur fidèle.
Écoute, dans la nuit,
Une voix qui gémit :
Rappelle-toi.

Remember, when the fearful Aurora
Opened to the Sun, her enchanted palace;
Remember, when the musing night
Passed while dreaming under her silver veil;
At the call of pleasure when your breast throbs,
From sweet dreams of twilight when the shadow invites you.
Listen to the deep woods
Murmuring in one voice:
Remember.
...
Remember, when beneath the cold earth
My broken heart will forever sleep;
Remember, when the lonely flower
On my tomb gently blooms.
I shall see you no more; but my immortal soul
Will return to you like a faithful sister.
Listen, in the night,
A voice laments:
Remember.
