Tidig gryning

Language: Swedish (Svenska)

Our translations: FRE

Några sista stjärnor lysa matt. 
Jag ser dem ur mitt fönster. Himlen är blek, 
man anar knappast dagen som börjar i fjärran. 
Det vilar en tystnad utbredd över sjön, 
det ligger en viskning på lur mellan träden, 
min gamla trädgård lyssnar halvförstrött 
till nattens andetag, som susa över vägen.

Aube matinale

Language: French (Français) after the Swedish (Svenska)

Lumière terne de quelques dernières étoiles.
Je les vois de ma fenêtre. Le ciel est blême,
on pressent à peine le jour qui point au loin.
Le silence règne sur le lac
un chuchotis est aux aguets parmi les arbres,
mon vieux jardin à demi distrait est aux écoutes
du souffle de la nuit qui  murmure sur le chemin.
