Translation by Pierre Grolier

Là‑bas, sur la rive
Language: French (Français)  after the English 
Là-bas, sur la rive,
Parmi le gazon,
Une herbe craintive 
Fleurit quand arrive 
La tiède saison.

Son doux nom rappelle
Les vieux souvenirs ; 
Messager fidèle,
Son doux nom révèle
Mes plus chers désirs ;

Et si dans l'absence 
Un jour je souffrais 
De votre silence,
Avec confiance
Je vous l'enverrais ;

Et la fleur discrète 
Vous dirait tout bas,
Au sein d'une fête 
Ou dans la retraite :
Ne m'oubliez pas.
