Rain has fallen all the day.
O come among the laden trees:
The leaves lie thick upon the way
Of memories

Staying a little by the way
Of memories shall we depart.
Come, my beloved, where I may
Speak to your heart.

La pluie est tombée tout le jour

(Sung text translation for setting by K. Szymanowski)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the English

La pluie est tombée tout le jour.
Oh, viens parmi les arbres chargés :
Les feuilles sont en tas épais sur le chemin
Des souvenirs.

Restant un peu près du chemin
Des souvenirs nous nous séparerons.
Viens, ma bien-aimée, où je peux
Parler à ton cœur.
