Le connais-tu, ce radieux pays Où brille dans les branches d'or des fruits ? Un doux zéphir embaume l'air Et le laurier s'unit au myrte vert. Le connais-tu, le connais-tu ? Là-bas, là-bas, mon bien-aimé, Courons porter nos pas. Le connais-tu, ce merveilleux séjour Où tout me parle encor de notre amour ? Où chaque objet me dit avec douleur : Qui t'a ravi ta joie et ton bonheur ? Le connais-tu, le connais-tu ? Là-bas, là-bas, mon bien-aimé, Courons porter nos pas.

Do you know that radiant land Where fruit glints among branches of gold? A soft breeze perfumes the air, And the laurel and green myrtle grow as one. Do you know it, do you know it? To that place, my beloved, Let us run, let us go. Do you know that marvelous place Where everything still speaks to me of our love? Where every object asks me with sadness: Who has stolen away your joy and happiness? Do you know it, do you know it? To that place, my beloved, Let us run, let us go.
