Light (Jean-Aubry, set by A. Roussel) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Des larmes ont coulé
D'un coeur secret et tendre
Qui se crut exilé.
Que n'aije su comprendre,
Quand je m'en suis allé,
Ce coeur secret et tendre.
Une bouche a parlé,
Triste douceur d'entendre
Aujourd'hui révélé
Ce coeur secret et tendre.
Des larmes ont coulé,
Que n'aije su comprendre.
Mais pouvais-je m'attendre
A ce ciel étoilé.
