Ada, début du chapitre XXII

My sister, do you still recall

The blue Ladore and Ardis Hall?

Don’t you remember any more

That castle bathed by the Ladore?

Ma sœur, te souvient-il encore

Du château que baignait la Dore?

My sister, do you still recall

The Ladore-washed old castle wall?

Sestra moya, tï pomnish’ goru,

I dub vïsokiy, i Ladoru

My sister, you remember still

The spreading oak tree and my hill?

Oh! qui me rendra mon Aline

Et le grand chêne et ma colline?

Oh, who will give me back my Jill

And the big oak tree and my hill?

Oh! qui me rendra, mon Adèle,

Et ma montagne et l’hirondelle?

Oh! qui me rendra ma Lucile,

La Dore et l’hirondelle agile?

Oh, who will render in our tongue

The tender things he loved and sung?
