Ce ciel qu'avaient contemplé
Language: French (Français)
Ce ciel qu'avaient contemplé
ceux qui le loueront
pendant l'éternité:
bergers et vignerons,
serait-il par leurs yeux
devenu permanent,
ce beau ciel et son vent,
son vent bleu?
Et son calme après,
si profond et si fort,
comme un dieu satisfait
qui s'endort.

This sky that has been contemplated
Language: English after the French (Français)
This sky that has been contemplated
by those who will praise it
for all eternity:
shepherds and winegrowers,
would it have, by their eyes,
been made permanent,
this beautiful blue sky and its wind,
its blue wind?
And its calm afterwards,
so deep and so strong,
like a satisfied god
who is falling asleep.
