Le vent dans la plaine

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 cri doux
Que l'herbe agitée expire...
Tu dirais, sous l'eau qui vire,
Le roulis sourd des cailloux.

Heus ací l’èxtasi llangorós

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Saint-Saëns)

See original

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

Heus ací l’èxtasi llangorós,
i la fatiga amorosa,
i tots els tremolins del bosc
enmig l’estreta de dels zèfirs,
heus  ací en les branquetes grises
el cor de petites veus.

Oh el frèvol i fresc murmuri!
Com refilen i mussiten,
tot s’assembla al crit dolç
que l’herba agitada expira...
Es diria, sota l’aigua virant,
el balandreig sord dels trucs.
