Chanson

(Sung text for setting by G. Fauré)

See original

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: CAT ENG

Oh ! les filles ! Venez, les filles aux voix douces !
C'est l'heure d'oublier l'orgueil et les vertus,
Et nous regarderons éclore dans les mousses
  La fleur des baisers défendus.

Les baisers défendus, c'est Dieu qui les ordonne.
Oh ! les filles ! Il fait le printemps pour les nids,
Il fait votre beauté pour qu'elle nous soit bonne,
  Nos désirs pour qu'ils soient unis.

 ... 

Oh, filles ! Hors l'amour rien n'est bon sur la terre,
Et depuis les soirs d'or jusqu'aux matins rosés
Les morts ne sont jaloux, dans leur paix solitaire,
  Que du murmure des baisers.

Cançó

(Sung text translation for setting by G. Fauré)

See original

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

Oh! Noies! Veniu noies de la veu dolça!
És l’hora d’oblidar l’orgull i les virtuts,
i esguardarem descloure a les molses
   la flor dels besos prohibits.

Els besos prohibits, és Déu qui els ordena.
Oh! Noies! Ell ha fet la primavera per als nius,
ha fet la vostra beutat perquè ens sigui bona,
   els nostres desigs perquè estiguin units.

 ... 

Oh noies! Fora de l’amor res hi ha a la terra,
i des dels vespres d’or fins als matins de roses,
els morts només envegen, en la seva pau solitària,
   el murmuri de les besades.
