I Vow to Thee, my Country - Gustav Holst , BBC Concert Orchestra , Barry Wordsworth , Royal Choral Society translation in French




I Vow to Thee, my Country
Je te le jure, mon pays
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Je te le jure, mon pays, au-dessus de toutes les choses terrestres,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
Entier, complet et parfait, le service de mon amour ;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
L’amour qui ne pose aucune question, l’amour qui résiste à l’épreuve,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
Qui dépose sur l’autel le plus cher et le meilleur ;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
L’amour qui ne faiblit jamais, l’amour qui paie le prix,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
L’amour qui rend intrépide le sacrifice final.
I heard my country calling, away across the sea,
J’ai entendu mon pays m’appeler, de l’autre côté de la mer,
Across the waves and waters, she calls and calls to me.
Par-dessus les vagues et les eaux, elle appelle et m’appelle.
Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head, And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead;
Son épée est ceinte à ses côtés, son casque sur sa tête, et autour de ses pieds gisent les mourants et les morts ;
I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns;
J’entends le bruit de la bataille, le tonnerre de ses canons ;
I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.
Je me hâte vers toi, ma mère, un fils parmi tes fils.
And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,
Et il y a un autre pays, dont j’ai entendu parler il y a longtemps,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
Le plus cher à ceux qui l’aiment, le plus grand à ceux qui le connaissent ;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Nous ne pouvons pas compter ses armées, nous ne pouvons pas voir son roi ;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
Sa forteresse est un cœur fidèle, sa fierté est la souffrance ;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
Et âme par âme et silencieusement ses frontières brillantes s’accroissent,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.
Et ses voies sont des voies de douceur, et tous ses chemins sont la paix.
