Avant que tu ne t'en ailles, Pâle étoile du matin -- Mille cailles Chantent, chantent dans le thym. -- Tourne devers le poète Dont les yeux sont pleins d'amour ; -- L'alouette Monte au ciel avec le jour. -- Tourne ton regard que noie L'aurore dans son azur ; -- Quelle joie Parmi les champs de blé mûr! -- [Puis]1 fais luire ma pensée Là-bas -- bien loin, oh, bien loin ! -- La rosée Gaîment brille sur le foin. -- Dans le doux rêve où s'agite Ma [mie]2 endormie encor... -- Vite, vite, Car voici le soleil d'or. --

Abans que no te’n vagis, pàl·lid estel del matí; -- Mil guatlles canten, canten al serpoll. -- Adreça’t vers el poeta de qui els ulls són plens d’amor; -- L’alosa quan apunta el dia s’enlaira cap al cel. -- Gira el teu esguard que ofega l’aurora en el seu atzur; -- Quina joia enmig dels camps de blat madur! -- Després, fes lluir el meu pensament allà – ben lluny, oh, ben lluny! -- La rosada brilla alegrament a l’herba. -- En el dolç somni en el que s’agita la meva estimada, adormida encara.... -- De pressa, de pressa, car heus aquí el sol d’or. –
