Je me suis plaint aux tourterelles Les tourterelles ont gémit. Et la caresse de leurs ailes m'a consolé comme un ami J'ai conté ma douleur au chêne Le chêne au coeur dur, fut touché. Les cyprès ont compris ma peine et vers moi leur front s'est penché Le zéphyr, effleurant mon âme, Bien tristement a murmuré : Mais qui m'a guéri... c'est la femme Quand je pleurait, elle a pleuré.

Skundo žodžius tariau balandėliui; Man suburkavo švelniai jis, Švelni glamonė jo sparnelių Draugiškai guodė, ramino vis. Ąžuolui savo skausmą išliejau; Suvirpėjo kieta jo širdis. Kiparisas, kurs skundą girdėjo, Apkabino mane šakomis. Mano sielą vėjelis ramino Šnabždesiu guosdamas tyliu, liūdnu. Tik moteris mano sielą pagydė! Verkia kartu ji, kai aš verkiu!
