Les chants du silence : Recueil de onze mélodies

by Imre Weisshaus (1904 - 1987), as Paul Arma

1. À la jeunesse
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Hommes d'aujourd'hui, jeunes hommes à votre tour !
Faites-vous de nos corps un marche-pied, et allez de l'avant !
Soyez plus grands et plus heureux que nous !
Moi-même, je dis adieu à mon âme passée ;
je la rejette derrière moi, comme une enveloppe vide.
La vie est une suite de morts et de résurrections !
Hommes d'aujourd'hui, jeunes hommes à votre tour !
Faites-vous de nos corps un marche-pied, et allez de l'avant !
Soyez plus grands et plus heureux que nous !

Language: French (Français)

Je n'entends pas parler les monstres

Je ne vois que les beaux visages
Les bons visages sûrs d'eux-mêmes

3. Chant du désespéré
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Au long des jours et des ans,
Je chante, je chante.
La chanson que je me chante
Elle est triste et gaie :
La vielle peine y sourit
Et la joie y pleure.

6. Présent  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Point n’est besoin de journal où je ne lis que le passé ; 
je n’ai qu’à monter à cette branche, et, dépassant le mur, 
je vois devant moi tout le présent. La lune se lève ; 
je tourne la face vers elle, baigné dans cette maison 
de fruits. Je demeure immobile, et de temps en temps une 
pomme de l’arbre choit comme une pensée lourde et mûre.
