Adieu
Language: French (Français)
Comme tout meurt vite, la rose Déclose, Et les frais manteaux diaprés Des prés; Les longs soupirs, les bienaimées, Fumées! On voit dans ce monde léger Changer, Plus vite que les flots des grèves, Nos rêves, Plus vite que le givre en fleurs, Nos coeurs! À vous l'on se croyait fidèle, Cruelle, Mais hélas! les plus longs amours Sont courts! Et je dis en quittant vos charmes, Sans larmes, Presqu'au moment de mon aveu, Adieu!

Como todo muere pronto, la rosa
Language: Spanish (Español) after the French (Français)
Como todo muere pronto, la rosa Florece, Y las frescas alfombras matizadas de las praderas; Los largos suspiros, los bienamados, ¡Esfumados! Vemos en este mundo ligero Cambiar, Más deprisa que los oleajes de las playas, Nuestros sueños, Más deprisa que la escarcha en las flores, ¡Nuestros corazones! A vos creía serle fiel, Mujer cruel, Pero ¡ay! los amores más largos ¡Son breves! Y digo abandonando sus encantos, Sin lágrimas, Casi al momento de declararme, ¡Adiós!
