Le Jour
Language: French (Français)
Tout est ravi quand vient le Jour
Dans les cieux flamboyants d'aurore.
Sur la terre en fleur qu'il décore
La joie immense est de retour.
Les feuillages au pur contour
Ont un bruissement sonore;
Tout est ravi quand vient le Jour
Dans les cieux flamboyants d'aurore.
La chaumière comme la tour
Dans la lumière se colore,
L'eau murmure, la fleur adore,
Les oiseaux chantent, fous d'amour.
Tout est ravi quand vient le Jour.

The Day
Language: English after the French (Français)
Everything is ravishing when the day comes
In the flaming sky of dawn.
On the flowering land which it patterns
The immense joy of the sun’s return.
Foliage, in stark outline,
Has a sonorous rustling;
Everything is ravishing when the day comes
In the flaming sky of dawn.
The cottage, like the castle,
Is coloured in the light,
The water murmurs, the flower opens,
The birds sing, mad with love.
Everything is ravishing when the day comes.
