Original text and translations

French text Dans un sommeil que charmait ton image Je rêvais le bonheur, ardent mirage, Tes yeux étaient plus doux, ta voix pure et sonore, Tu rayonnais comme un ciel éclairé par l'aurore; Tu m'appelais et je quittais la terre Pour m'enfuir avec toi vers la lumière, Les cieux pour nous entr'ouvraient leurs nues, Splendeurs inconnues, lueurs divines entrevues, Hélas! Hélas! triste réveil des songes Je t'appelle, ô nuit, rends moi tes mensonges, Reviens, reviens radieuse, Reviens ô nuit mystérieuse!

English translation Drowsing spellbound with the vision of you I dreamt of happiness, burning mirage, Your eyes were gentler, your voice was pure and sonorous You shone like the dawn-lit sky You called me and I left the earth To flee with you toward the light For us the heavens opened up their clouds To reveal unknown splendour, glimpses of divine light… Alas, alas, sad awakening from these dreams I call out to you, oh night, give me back your lies Come back, come back, radiant one Come back mysterious night.
