Derrière Murcie en fleurs (Aguet, set by A. Honegger) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Derrière Murcie en fleurs
je connais un chemin
qui mène jusqu'à toi parmi les orangers
Que fais-tu toute seule si loin si loin si loin...

Pourquoi t'ai-je quittée
Ah! si tu me voyais tu t'assiérais
en pleurs  parmi les grenadiers
Que fais-tu toute seule si loin si loin si loin...
