France

Le long du quai les grands vaisseaux,
Que la houle incline en silence,
Ne prennent pas garde aux berceaux
Que la main des femmes balance.
Mais viendra le jour des adieux,
Car il faut que les femmes pleurent,
Et que les hommes curieux
Tentent les horizons qui leurrent.
Et ce jour-là les grands vaisseaux,
Fuyant le port qui diminue,
Sentent leur masse retenue
Par l’âme des lointains berceaux.

United Kingdom

Along the quay the big ships,
Silently tilted by the swell,
Do not heed the cradles
Rocked by the hands of women.
But the day of farewell will come,
For it must be that the women weep,
And that the inquisitive men
Challenge the lure of the horizon.
And on that day, the great ships,
Fleeing from the fading harbor,
Feel their weight held back
By the soul of the distant cradles.[3]
