Aux Quatre Vents [English translation]

Quietly goes the day

The stars shine

in the eyes of the girls

They will always shine there

Quietly goes the day

Quietly goes the day

in the vast sky

clouds dance

The moon illuminating their yard

Quietly goes the day

Quietly goes the day

Flight at dusk

Sweet dragonfly

From the pond to our plowed land

Quietly goes the day

Quietly goes the day

the smell of the earth

mingles with ferns

and branches in turn

Quietly goes the day

Quietly goes the day

The enormous trees

have the look of a marble

in the evening which surrounds them

Quietly goes the day

Quietly goes the day

in the dark forests

Stretches the shadows

When night is in velvet

Quietly goes the day

Quietly goes the day

The bright moon

Seems to be waiting

illuminating the surroundings

Quietly goes the day

Quietly comes the night

the fertilised earth

nvited to the round

in the infinite silence

Quietly comes the night

Quietly comes the night

Beautiful lark

The children poets

under its wing it took them

Quietly comes the night

Quietly go the years

Which make us getting old

Push us to grow

Spread us to the four winds

Quietly goes the time
