Go where glory waits thee, But, while fame elates thee, Oh! still remember me. When the praise thou meetest, To thine ear is sweetest, O! then remember me. Other arms may press thee, Dearer friends caress thee, All the joys that bless thee, Sweeter far may be; But when friends are nearest, And when joys are dearest, O! then remember me! When, at eve, thou rovest By the star thou lovest, O! then remember me. Think, when home returning, Bright we 've seen it burning, O! thus remember me. Oft as summer closes, When thine eye reposes On its ling'ring roses, Once so loved by thee, Think of her who wove them, Her who made thee love them, O! then remember me! When, around thee dying, Autumn leaves are lying, O! then remember me. And, at night, when gazing On the gay hearth blazing, O! still remember me. Then should music, stealing All the soul of feeling, To thy heart appealing, Draw one tear from thee; Then let [memory]1 bring thee Strains I used to sing thee O! then remember me!

Va où la gloire t'attend, Mais si la renommée t'exalte, Ô, souviens-toi encore de moi ! Lorsqu'on te dira les éloges Les plus doux à tes oreilles, Ô alors, souviens-toi de moi ! D'autres bras peuvent t'enlacer, Des amis plus chers te caresser, Toutes les joies qui te comblent Être beaucoup plus douces ; Mais quand les amis seront au plus près, Et quand les joies seront les plus chères ; Ô alors, souviens-toi de moi ! Quand le soir tu vagabondes Au clair de l'étoile que tu aimes, Ô alors, souviens-toi de moi ! Quand tu rentres à la maison, pense Que nous l'avons vue briller avec éclat, Ô, souviens-toi ainsi de moi ! Souvent quand se termine l'automne, Quand tes yeux se reposent Sur ses roses tardives Que naguère tu aimais tant, Pense à celle qui en faisait des colliers, À celle qui te les a fait aimer, Ô alors, souviens-toi de moi ! Quand autour de toi, mourantes, Gisent les feuilles d'automne, Ô, souviens-toi de moi ! Et la nuit, en regardant L'âtre flamboyer gaîment, Ô, souviens-toi encore de moi ! Alors que la musique, détournant Toutes les émotions de ton âme, De ton cœur séducteur Tire une larme ; Laisse alors la mémoire te rappeler Les accords que je te chantais, Ô alors, souviens-toi de moi !
