[English]

Oh night, come bring to earth

Your calm enchantment, your mystery

The shadow that accompanies you is so gentle

So gentle is the symphony of your fingers

Singing hope

Your transforming power is so great

Turning everything into happy dreams

Oh night, oh let the earth still have

...

Your calm enchantment, your mystery

The shadow that follows you is so gentle

Is there a beauty as lovely as a dream?

Is there a truth more sweet than hope?

...

[French]

Oh nuit vient apporter à la terre

Le calme enchantement de ton mystère

L'ombre qui l'escorte est si douce

Si doux est le concert de tes doigts

Chantant l'espérance

Si grand est ton pouvoir transformant

Tout en rêve heureux

Oh nuit, oh laisses encore à la terre

Le calme enchantement de ton mystère

L'ombre qui t'escorte est si douce

Est-il une beauté aussi belle que le rêve

Est-il de vérité plus douce que l'espérance
