C'est l'extase

(Sung text for setting by G. Fauré)

Language: French (Français)

C'est l'extase langoureuse,
C'est la fatigue amoureuse,
C'est tous les frissons des bois
Parmi l'étreinte des brises,
C'est vers les ramures grises
Le chœur des petites voix.

O le frêle et frais murmure !
Cela gazouille et susurre,
Cela ressemble au bruit doux
Que l'herbe agitée expire...
Tu dirais, sous l'eau qui vire,
Le roulis sourd des cailloux.

Cette âme qui se lamente
Et cette plainte dormante
C'est la nôtre, n'est-ce pas ?
La mienne, dis, et la tienne,
Dont s'exhale l'humble antienne
Par ce tiède soir, tout bas ?

Es ist die verführerische Verzückung

(Sung text translation for setting by G. Fauré)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)

Es ist die verführerische Verzückung,
Es ist die Liebesmüdigkeit,
Es zittert alles im Hain
Durch die Umarmung der Lüfte.
Man hört durch das graue Geäst
Den Chor der leisen Stimmen.

O das zierliche und frische Murmeln !
Es zwitschert und flüstert,
Es gleicht dem süßen Schrei
Den das bewegte Gras aushaucht ...
Du würdest sagen, das dumpfe Rollen der Kiesel
Unter dem drehenden Wasser.

Diese Seele, die jammert
In dieser schlummernden Klage
Das ist die unsere, nicht wahr ?
Die meine, sag, und die deine,
Deren bescheidene Litanei sich äußert
An diesem lauen Abend, sehr leise ?
