Literal translation (AJ) –in square brackets the text that was added by Widor to Victor Hugo’s original poem:
My arm was clasping your waist frail And supple like a reed; Your breast was quivering like the wing [Like the wing] of a young bird.
For a long time silent, we contemplated The sky where was going out the day. What was happening in our souls? Love, love! [Love, love!]
Like an angel unveiling You were looking at me in my night, With your beautiful starry glance, [Glance] which blinds me; [Ah! your beautiful starry glance Which blinds me.]
