Ah! Lève-toi, Soleil!

Love, love! Yes, its ardor
Has troubled my whole being!
But what sudden brightness
Shines at this window?
There, in the night
Shines her beauty!
Ah! Rise, sun!
Make the stars pale
Which, in the unveiled azure,
Shine in the firmament.

Ah! Rise! Appear!
Pure and charming star!
She dreams, she unties
A lock of hair
That comes to caress her cheek.
Love! Love! Convey my wishes to her!
She speaks! How beautiful she is!
Ah! I heard nothing!
But her eyes speak for her!
And my heart has answered!
