I. — (original)I. — (translation)
L’herbe est molle au sommeil sous les frais peupliers, The grass sleeps soft under the cool poplars,
Aux pentes des sources moussues, On the slopes of mossy springs,
Qui dans les prés en fleur germant par mille issues, Who in the flowering meadows sprouting through a thousand outlets,
Se perdent sous les noirs halliers. Get lost under the black thickets.
Repose, ô Phidylé!Rest, O Phidyle!
Midi sur les feuillages Noon on the leaves
Rayonne et t’invite au sommeil. Radiates and invites you to sleep.
Par le trèfle et le thym, seules, en plein soleil, By clover and thyme, alone, in full sun,
Chantent les abeilles volages. The fickle bees sing.
Un chaud parfum circule au détour des sentiers, A warm perfume circulates at the bend of the paths,
La rouge fleur des blés s’incline, The red cornflower bows,
Et les oiseaux, rasant de l’aile la colline, And the birds, skimming the hill,
Cherchent l’ombre des églantiers. Seek the shade of the rosehips.
Les taillis sont muets;The copses are silent;
le daim, par les clairières, deer, through glades,
Devant les meutes aux abois In front of the beleaguered packs
Ne bondit plus;No longer leaps;
Diane, assise au fond des bois, Diana, sitting deep in the woods,
Polit ses flèches meurtrières. Polishes his murderous arrows.
Dors en paix, belle enfant aux rires ingénus, Sleep in peace, beautiful child with ingenuous laughter,
Aux nymphes agrestes pareille! Similar to rural nymphs!
De ta bouche au miel pur j'écarterai l’abeille, From your mouth of pure honey I will ward off the bee,
Je garantirai tes pieds nus. I will guarantee your bare feet.
Laisse sur ton épaule et ses formes divines, Leave on your shoulder and its divine forms,
Comme un or fluide et léger, Like a fluid and light gold,
Sous mon souffle amoureux courir et voltiger Under my loving breath run and flit
L'épaisseur de tes tresses fines! The thickness of your thin braids!
Sans troubler ton repos, sur ton front transparent, Without disturbing your rest, on your transparent forehead,
Libre des souples bandelettes, Free from the supple bands,
J’unirai l’hyacinthe aux pâles violettes, I will unite hyacinth with pale violets,
Et la rose au myrte odorant. And the sweet myrtle rose.
Belle comme Érycine aux jardins de Sicile, Beautiful as Erycine in the gardens of Sicily,
Et plus chère à mon coeur jaloux, And dearest to my jealous heart,
Repose!Rests!
Et j’emplirai du souffle le plus doux And I will fill with the sweetest breath
La flûte à mes lèvres docile. The flute to my docile lips.
Je charmerai les bois, ô blanche Phidylé, I will charm the woods, O white Phidylé,
De ta louange familière; Of your familiar praise;
Et les nymphes, au seuil de leurs grottes de lierre, And the nymphs, at the threshold of their ivy caves,
En pâliront, le coeur troublé. Will turn pale with troubled hearts.
Mais, quand l’Astre, incliné sur sa courbe éclatante, But when the Star, tilted on its dazzling curve,
Verra ses ardeurs s’apaiser, Will see his ardor subside,
Que ton plus beau sourire et ton meilleur baiser Than your best smile and your best kiss
Me récompensent de l’attente!Reward me for waiting!
