by Augusta Mary Anne Holmès (1847 - 1903)

Coucher de soleil
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CHI
Rappelle-toi le soir d'automne
Où les airs étaient embaumés,
Rappelle-toi le soir d'automne
Où nous nous sommes tant aimés !
Seuls sous l'azur plein de mystère
Nos cœurs battaient à se briser,
Le soleil s'éteignait et les cieux et la terre
Semblaient se réunir en un profond baiser !

Nous entendions frémir la plaine,
Frissonner les bois et les champs.
Nous entendions frémir la plaine
Au murmure de nos vingt ans !
Heureux, oubliés, loin du monde,
Nous rêvions sous l'immensité
Ah ! Pour un seul cheveu de cette tête blonde
J'aurais donné ma part de l'immortalité !
