Puisque l'aube grandit

(Sung text for setting by G. Fauré)

See base text

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: CAT ENG

Puisque l'aube grandit, puisque voici l'aurore,
Puisque, après m'avoir fui longtemps, l'espoir veut bien
Revoler devers moi qui l'appelle et l'implore,
Puisque tout ce bonheur veut bien être le mien,

 ... 

Je veux, guidé par vous, beaux yeux aux flammes douces,
Par toi conduit, ô main où tremblera ma main,
Marcher droit, que ce soit par des sentiers de mousses
Ou que rocs et cailloux encombrent le chemin ;

 ... 

Et comme, pour bercer les lenteurs de la route,
Je chanterai des airs ingénus, je me dis
Qu'elle m'écoutera sans déplaisir sans doute ;
Et vraiment je ne veux pas d'autre Paradis.

Puix que l’alba s’acreix

(Sung text translation for setting by G. Fauré)

See original

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

Puix que l’alba s’acreix, puix que heus aquí l’aurora,
puix que, després d’haver-me defugit per molt temps l’esperança 
vol tornar a volar cap a mi, el qui la crida i l’implora,
puix que tota aquesta felicitat vol ben bé ser meva,

 ... 

vull, guiat per vosaltres, bells ulls de dolça ardor,
per tu conduït, oh mà on tremolarà la meva,
caminar tot dret, tant per senders de molsa
o per on rocs i pedres entrebanquin el camí;

 ... 

i com, per mitigar la lentitud de la ruta,
cantaré tonades ingènues, crec segur
que ella m’escoltarà sense desplaença;
i veritablement no vull cap altre Paradís.
