Translation by Franz Toussaint (1879 - 1955)

Rapide, ma barque file,
Je contemple le fleuve.
Des nuages errent dans le ciel.
L'eau est aussi de la nuit claire.
Quand un nuage glisse sur la lune,
Je le vois glisser aussi sur le fleuve
Et il me semble que je vogue en plein ciel.
Je pense à ma bien aimée,
qui se mire ainsi dans mon cœur.
