Locutions (Cocteau, set by A. Honegger, M. Jacob) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Fraîche comme une rose
Sage comme une image

Votre coeur
en forme de coeur
C'est bien rare!

Franc comme l'or 
Rosa la rose

Toutes les roses perdent leurs joues
sur le tapis, combien de masques?

Je suis pâle comme la mort.
