Lost in translation (Victor Hugo Poem)

Add to Google Reader or Homepage
If you were "lost in translation" from my posting yesterday, my apologies. I offer a translation below.

Demain dès l'aube

Demain, dès l'aube, à l'heure où blanchit la campagne,
Je partirai. Vois-tu, je sais que tu m'attends.
J'irai par la forêt, j'irai par la montagne.
Je ne puis demeurer loin de toi plus longtemps.

Tomorrow at dawn

Tomorrow at dawn, at the hour when the countryside brightens,
I will leave. You see, I know that you are waiting for me.
I will go by the forest, I will go by the mountain.
I cannot live far from you any longer.
