Calme des nuits

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: DUT GER SPA

Calme des nuits, fraîcheur des soirs,
Vaste scintillement des mondes,
Grand silence des antres noirs
Vous charmez les âmes profondes.

L'éclat du soleil, la gaité,
Le bruit plaisent aux plus futiles;
Le poète seul est hanté
Par l'amour des choses tranquilles.

Tranquilidad de las noches

Language: Spanish (Español) after the French (Français)

Tranquilidad de las noches, frescor de las tardes
Vasto centelleo de los mundos
Gran silencio de los antros negros
Encantáis a las almas profundas

El brillo del sol, la alegría
El ruido gusta a los más futiles
Sólo el poeta está habitado
Por el amor de las cosas tranquilas.
