La vagabonde
 (Sung text for setting by E. Bloch)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CAT
Elle a passé dans le vent d’automne.
Elle cheminait par les routes blêmes,
loin des bois roussis et craquants, 
vers les hameaux inhospitaliers,  
sous le ciel morne comme son cœur.
Elle allait, elle allait d’une allure accablée,
lourde des souvenirs accrochés à ses haillons,
enchâssés dans sa chair douloureuse,
et ses pieds las étaient gonflés,
et ses yeux étaient farouches.
Nul regard ne croisait la véhémente détresse des siens,
et nulle main  ne frôlait ses doigts meurtris
dans sa marche triste vers l’inconnu.
Elle a passé dans le vent d’automne,
la sans foyer, la sans amour,
la sans Dieu.
