Lydé
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG SPA
Viens ! C'est le jour d'un Dieu. Puisons avec largesse
Le Cécube clos au cellier.
Fière Lydé, permets au plaisir familier
D'amollir un peu ta sagesse.
L'heure fuit, l'horizon rougit sous le soleil,
Hâte-toi. L'amphore remplie
Sous Bibulus consul, repose ensevelie:
Trouble son antique sommeil.
Je chanterai les flots amers, la verte tresse
Des Néréides; toi, Lydé,
Sur ta lyre enlacée à ton bras accoudé
Chante Diane chasseresse.
Puis nous dirons Vénus et son char attelé
De cygnes qu'un lieu d'or guide,
Les Cyclades, Paphos, et tes rives, ô Gnide !
Puis, un hymne au ciel étoilé.

Lydé
Language: Spanish (Español) after the French (Français)
¡Ven! Es el día de un Dios. Agotemos generosamente
El cécubo encerrado en la bodega.
Orgullosa Lydé, deja al familiar placer
Suavizar un poco tu sabiduría.
El tiempo vuela, el horizonte enrojece bajo el sol,
Date prisa. El ánfora llena
Bajo Bíbulo cónsul, reposa enterrada:
Perturba su sueño antiguo.
Cantaré las amargas olas, la trenza verde
De las Nereidas; tú, Lydé,
Apoyada por tu lira reclinada en tu brazo
Canta a Diana cazadora.
Después fabularemos sobre Venus y su carro uncido
con cisnes atados a una guía de oro,
Las Cícladas, Pafos, y tus riberas, ¡oh Gnido!
Después, un himno al cielo estrellado.
