L'église vieille dit les heures
de l'île où la nuit descend
The church - an old church - tells the hours
from the island where the night descends
Je la vois encore son toit de gris dans le gris de l'eau.
I can still see it, its grey roof in the grey of the water
pressens dans la tour de bois
ma demeure la folie
I have a presentiment in the tower of wood
of my dwelling place, of madness
la folie le silence
of madness, of silence
clos clos vigilance
Closed in, closed in
but keeping watch
Oh Ne pas altérer ce qui reste,
et le doit.
Oh never change what remains
and should remain
"Was bleibt aber stiften die Dichter."
What remains, however, is the stuff of poetry. less

Summer has arrived,
Loudly sing, cuckoo!
The seed is growing
And the meadow is blooming,
And the wood is coming into leaf now,
Sing, cuckoo!
The ewe is bleating after her lamb,
The cow is lowing after her calf;
The bullock is prancing,
The billy-goat farting
Sing merrily, cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo,
You sing well, cuckoo,
Never stop now.
Sing, cuckoo, now; sing, cuckoo;
Sing, cuckoo; sing, cuckoo, now! less
