Chant d'automne
 (Sung text for setting by A. Flégier)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CAT CHI ENG GER ITA
Automne au ciel brumeux, aux horizons navrants,
Aux rapides couchants, aux aurores pâlies,
Je regarde couler, avec l'eau des torrents,
       Tes jours faits de mélancolies.

Sur l'aile du regret mes esprits emportés,
-- Comme s'il se pouvait que notre âge renaisse ! --
Parcourent, en rêvant, les coteaux enchantés
       Où jadis sourit ma jeunesse.

Je sens, au clair soleil du souvenir vainqueur,
Refleurir en bouquet les roses deliées
Et monter à mes yeux des larmes, qu'en mon cœur,
       Mes vingt ans avaient oubliées !
