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


Le Lord prévôt d'Edimbourg
Dit que l'amour est chimère
Mais un jour il perd sa mère
Ses larmes coulent toujours
Irène petite Irène
l'Amour c'est la grande peine.
