Quand je viendrai m'asseoir dans le vent, dans la nuit, Au bout du rocher solitaire, Quand je n'entendrai plus, en t'écoutant, le bruit Que fait mon coeur sur cette terre, Ne te contente pas, Océan, de jeter Sur mon visage un peu d'écume! D'un coup de lame alors il te faut m'emporter Pour dormir dans ton amertume!

Wenn ich komme mich im Wind, in der Nacht, am Ende des einsamen Felsen hinzusetzen, wenn ich ich nicht mehr den Lärm höre, den mein Herz auf dieser Erde macht, sobald ich Dir lausche, dann begnügne Dich nicht, o Ozean, mir ein wenig Gischt ins Gesicht zu werfen. Mit einem Schwertstreich trage mich denn hinfort, auf dass ich in Deiner Verbitterung schlafe.
