Fleuve du Tage
 (Sung text for setting by H. Berlioz)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
  Fleuve du Tage, 
Je fuis tes bords heureux ;
  À ton rivage 
J'adresse mes adieux.
Rochers, bois de la rive,
Écho, nymphe plaintive,
  Hélas, je vais 
Vous quitter pour jamais.

  Grotte jolie, 
Dans le temps fortuné,
  Près de Marie, 
Si tendrement passé.
Son retrait solitaire,
Asile du mystère,
  Fut pour mon cœur 
Le temple du bonheur.

 ... 

  Terre chérie 
Où je reçus le jour,
  Chère Marie, 
Objet de mon amour ;
Bosquets, vertes prairies,
Ruisseaux, rives fleuries,
   Adieu, je vais 
Vous quitter pour jamais.

  Jours de tendresse,
Comme un vain songe enfuis ;
  Jours de tristesse, 
De chagrins et d'ennuis,
Loin de ma douce amie,
Désormais de ma vie
  Vont pour toujours, 
Hélas ! flétrir le cours.

 ...
