Élégie

Available translation(s): ENG SPA
Ô, doux printemps d'autre fois, vertes saisons,
Vous avez fui pour toujours!
Je ne vois plus le ciel bleu;
Je n'entends plus les chants joyeux des oiseaux!
En emportant mon bonheur, mon bonheur...
Ô bien-amé, tu t'en es allé!
Et c'est en vain que [le printemps revient!]1
Oui, sans retour,
avec toi, le gai soleil,
Les jours riants sont partis!
Comme en mon coeur tout est sombre et glacé!
Tout est flétri
pour toujours!

Elegía
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the French (Français)
¡Oh!, dulces primaveras de antaño, verdes estaciones,
os habéis ido para siempre.
Ya no veo el cielo azul,
ya no escucho el alegre canto de los pájaros.
Llevándote mi felicidad, te has ido.
¡Oh! bien amada.
En vano vuelve la primavera,
sí, sin retorno,
Contigo, el alegre sol,
los días sonrientes, se han ido.
¡Qué sombrío y helado es todo en mi corazón!
Todo se ha marchitado para siempre.
