Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG GER
Diane, Séléné, lune de beau métal,
Qui reflète vers nous, par ta face déserte,
Dans l'immortel ennui du calme sidéral,
Le regret d'un soleil dont nous pleurons la perte.
Ô lune, je t'en veux de ta limpidité
Injurieuse au trouble vain des pauvres âmes,
Et mon cœur, toujours las et toujours agité,
Aspire vers la paix de ta nocturne flamme.

Diana, Selene
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the French (Français)
Diana, Selene, lluna de formós metall,
que reflecteixes vers nosaltres, per la teva faç deserta,
en el tedi immortal de la calma sideral,
la recança d’un sol del que plorem la pèrdua.
Oh lluna, blasmo la teva limpidesa
insultant per a l’estèril neguit de les pobres ànimes,
i el meu cor, sempre abaltit i sempre convuls,
anhela la pau de la teva nocturna flama.
