by Armand Manuel Ocampo (b. 1857)

Chant hindou
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Brahma, dieu des croyants, maître des cités saintes,
N'entends-tu pas mes longs sanglots?
À ton fleuve sacré je répète mes plaintes,
Qu'il va te porter dans ses flots!

Il a quitté ce monde,
M'aimant quand je l'aimais,
Et ma peine est profonde,
Je souffre à jamais!

Il a quitté ce monde, il a quitté la vie,
Et moi, je ne vois plus ses yeux,
Je n'entends plus sa voix, ma lèvre refroidie
N'a plus ses baisers amoureux;

Il ne me reste rien, de ses folles étreintes,
Rien, rien, Brahma que mes sanglots!
À ton fleuve sacré je répète mes plaintes,
Qu'il va te porter dans ses flots!

Il a quitté ce monde,
M'aimant quand je l'aimais,
Et ma peine est profonde,
Je souffre à jamais!
