Voyage (Apollinaire, set by F. Poulenc) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Adieu Amour nuage qui fuis et n'a pas
chu pluie féconde
refais le voyage de Dante.

Télégraph
Oiseau qui laisse tomber ses ailes partout

Où va donc ce train qui meurt au loin
Dans les vals et les beaux bois frais du
tendre été si pâle?

La douce nuit lunaire et pleine d'étoiles
C'est ton visage que je ne vois plus.
