L'aube blanche dit à mon rêve
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG GER
L'aube blanche dit à mon rêve:
"Éveille-toi, le soleil luit".
Mon âme écoute et je soulève
Un peu mes paupières vers lui.
Un rayon de lumière touche
La pâle fleur de mes yeux bleus;
Une flamme éveille ma bouche,
Un souffle éveille mes cheveux.
Et mon âme, comme une rose
Tremblante, lente, tout le jour,
S'éveille à la beauté des choses,
Comme mon [cœur]1 à leur amour.
Il n'est rien qui ne m'émerveille !
Et je dis en mon rire d'or :
Je suis une enfant qui s'éveille
Jusqu'au moment où Dieu l'endort.
G. Fauré sets stanzas 1-3

L’alba blanca diu al meu somni
Language: Catalan (Català) after the French (Français)
L’alba blanca diu al meu somni:
“Desperta’t, ja brilla el sol.”
La meva ànima ho sent i jo aixeco
un poc les meves parpelles vers ell.
Un raig de llum toca
la pàl•lida flor dels meus ulls blaus;
una flama desvetlla la meva boca,
un hàlit desvetlla els meus cabells.
I la meva ànima com una rosa
tremolosa, lenta, tot el dia,
es desvetlla a la beutat de les coses,
com la meva ànima a llur amor.
