Deux Chansons de Madame Bovary

by Darius Milhaud (1892 - 1974)

1. Chanson de l'aveugle 
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
 ... 

Souvent la chaleur d'un beau jour
Fait rêver fillette à l'amour.

 ... 

Pour amasser diligemment
Les épis que la faux moissonne,
Ma Nanette va s'inclinant
Vers le sillon qui nous les donne.

 ... 

 ... 

Il souffla bien fort ce jour-là,
Et le jupon court s'envola !

 ... 

Text Authorship:

  • possibly by Gustave Flaubert (1821 - 1880), no title, appears in Madame Bovary, Part 3, Chapter 7

2. La chanson du printemps 
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Refrain:
 Ah! reste, reste dans mon cœur, 
 premier reve d'amour, 
 Comme dans un ruisseau la pourpre d'un beau jour. 

À mon amant j'ai fait don de ma vie, 
Tous mes échos seront pour mes accents, 
Tous mes matins, pour ses heureaux printemps, 
Tous mes plaisirs, pour son âme ravie. 
(Refrain)

Sois-en bien sûr, j'irai dans ta pensée, 
Naïve et simple, épancher mes secrets, 
Ainsi qu'un lys verse dans les forêts 
Sa poudre d'or sur la fraîche rosée. 
(Refrain)

Text Authorship:

  • possibly by Gustave Flaubert (1821 - 1880)
  • possibly by Joseph 'Chevalier' Bard (1803 - 1861)

Note: some catalogues give the poet as Flaubert, but the score indicates "Chevalier Bard", who could be Joseph "Chevalier" Bard, according to The Solo Songs of Darius Milhaud: A Historical and Analytical Contribution to the Curriculum of the College Voice Studio, a dissertation by Anne L. Patterson presented at University of Florida, 1989.
