Cantilena
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Our translations: FIN
Tror ni en kvinna så lätt kan glömma, tror ni en känsla så lätt förgår? Känslor som väckts de stiga och strömma, sjuda som bäckar i vaknande vår. Röst som en gång har smekt vår öra hviskar alltjemt i vårt hjertas vrå, om man den stämman icke vill höra, o, man hör den, man här den ändå! Stundom i skymmande sommarnatten ljuda i drömmen toner från förr, susa som sång öfver stilla vatten, klappa så sakta på hjertats dörr!

Cantilène
Language: French (Français) after the Swedish (Svenska)
Croyez-vous donc que la cœur d'une femme Puisse oublier un sentiment si doux? L'amour, l'amour pour nous met une fleur dans l'àme, Que ne peut plus briser le vent jaloux! La voix qui charma notre oreille Chante toujours dans notre cœur, C'est un écho qui toujours se réveille; Il nous rend, il nous rend le bonheur! Frêle bonheur dont l'ivresse fut brève! Doux et sublime sentiment! Tu nous reviens sur les ailes du rêve, Et tu nous sembles plus charmant, oui, plus charmant!
