Ma pensée est sereine et rêve parfumée
Language: French (Français)
Ma pensée est sereine et rêve parfumée,
Comme la chambre heureuse où dort la bien-aimée.
Large fleur au cœur blanc qui parfume la nuit,
La lune sur l'étang du ciel s'épanouit.
Ma pensée est sereine et rêve caressée
D'une odeur de santal que tes bras m'ont laissée.

My disposition is calm and my dreams...
Language: English after the French (Français)
My disposition is calm and my dreams perfumed,
Like that happy room where my beloved sleeps.
[Like a] large flower with a white heart that perfumes the night,
The moon blooms over the lagoon of heaven.
My disposition is calm and my dreams perfected,
The odor of sandalwood from your embrace is left with me.
