Перевод стихотворения Chanson d’automne на английский язык.

Autumn song

Long sobbing winds,
The violins
   Of autumn drone,
Wounding my heart
With languorous smart
   In monotone.

Choking and pale,
When on the gale
   The hour sounds deep,
I call to mind
Dead years behind,
   And I weep.

And I, going,
Borne by blowing
   Winds and grief,
Flutter, here — there,
As on the air
   The dying leaf.

Chanson d’Automne

When a sighing begins
In the violins
Of the autumn-song,
My heart is drowned
In the slow sound
Languorous and long.

Pale as with pain,
Breath fails me when
The hour tolls deep.
My thoughts recover
The days that are over,
And I weep.

And I go
Where the winds know,
Broken and brief,
To and fro,
As the winds blow
A dead leaf.

Chanson d’automne

Les sanglots longs
Des violons
   De l’automne
Blessent mon cœur
D’une langueur
   Monotone.

Tout suffocant
Et blême, quand
   Sonne l’heure,
Je me souviens
Des jours anciens
   Et je pleure ;

Et je m’en vais
Au vent mauvais
   Qui m’emporte
Deçà, delà,
Pareil à la
   Feuille morte.
