by Arthur Rimbaud (1854 - 1891)
Translation by Vítězslav Nezval (1900 - 1958)

Sensation
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG ITA
Par les soirs bleus d'été, j'irai dans les sentiers,
Picoté par les blés, fouler l'herbe menue :
Réveur, j'en sentirai la fraîcheur à mes pieds.
Je laisserai le vent baigner ma tète nue ! 

Je ne parlerai pas, je ne penserai rien :
Mais l'amour infïni me montera dans l'âme,
Et j'irai loin, bien loin, comme un bohémien
Par la Nature, -- heureux comme avec une femme.

Vzrušení
 (Sung text for setting by H. Krása)
 Matches base text
Language: Czech (Čeština)  after the French (Français) 
Za modrých večerů si vyjdu po pěšině,
lechtán obilím, se brouzdat svěží travou;
a zasněn ucítím, jak vítr na mýtině
mi bude kroužiti nad rozcuchanou hlavou!

Ni slova neřeknu a nepomyslím na nic.
Však budu míti duši lásce otevřenou.
Jak cikán půjdu dlouho, dlouho podél hranic,
v nesmírné Přírodě, šťasten s ní jako s ženou.
