TRANSLATION:
In a slumber, charmed by your image,
I dreamed of happiness, burning mirage.
Your eyes were more soft, your voice pure and ringing;
You shone like a sky lit up by daybreak;
You were calling me, and I left the earth
To flee with you towards the Light.
The Heavens parted their clouds for us,
Splendours unknown, glimpses of Divine Light.
Alas!!! Alas, sad awakening from dreams!
I call to you, o night, give me back your illusions;
Return, return radiant
Return, o mysterious night!
