Green vineyards near the sea
(English translation)
Green vineyards near the sea,
now that the wind does not grumble,
you turn greener and yet,
your leaves are still fearful,
green vineyards near the sea.
Green vineyards, sweet repose
near the sail that moves along;
you bend your form towards the sea
without slanting in excess,
green vineyards, sweet repose.
Vineyards that wish farewell
to the catboat and the seagull,
and to the fine trimming of snow
that now appears and then expires…
Vineyards that wish farewell!
Green vineyards of my heart…
In your stems slumbers the evening,
black grapes, golden leaves,
water, scarp, and awe.
Green vineyards of my heart…
Green vineyards near the sea,
green at daybreak,
pale green in the evenfall…
Keep us company forever,
green vineyards near the sea!
