Original text and translations
French text
- L’ombre des arbres dans la rivière embrumée
- Meurt comme de la fumée,
- Tandis qu’en l’air, parmi les ramures réelles,
- Se plaignent les tourterelles.
- Combien ô voyageur, ce paysage blême
- Te mira blême toi-même,
- Et que tristes pleuraient dans les hautes feuillées,
- Tes espérances noyées.
- Lyrics: Paul Verlaine (1844-1896), "L’ombre des arbres"
