Chant d'amour
Language: French (Français) after the Hebrew (עברית)
En même temps que tous les bourgeons
la Rose de mon coeur se réveille, elle aussi,
aux chants des étoiles matinales et nocturnes,
la Rose de mon coeur s'épanche, elle aussi.
Lorsque le rossignol fit entendre sa voix,
Mon coeur se fondit en larmes;
Lorsque la nature s'endormit autour de moi,
mes rêves se réveillèrent.
Des myriades d'étoiles sont là haut au ciel,
unique est l'Étoile qui éclaire mes ténèbres.

Song of love
Language: English after the French (Français)
At the same time as all of the buds,
the Rose of my heart awakens, it too.
At the songs of morning and evening stars
the Rose of my heart overflows, it too.
When the nightingale let its voice be heard,
my heart melted in tears.
While nature fell asleep around me,
my dreams woke up.
Myriads of stars are up in the sky;
only one Star lights up my darkness.
