Trois orientales, paroles de Tristan Klingsor

by Philippe Gaubert (1879 - 1941)

1. Chanson de flûte  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Ôte ton voile ce soir sur la terrasse en fleurs,
Pour que je voie briller tes yeux de velours,
Tes yeux ensorceleurs,
Comme des étoiles dans ton visage adorable,
Pendant que je chanterai ma chanson d'amour 
Douce et triste, sur un air de flûte arabe.

2. Le Vase de Damas  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Je t'apporte un vase de Syrie, 
Au col fin comme tes doigts, 
Pour у mettre des roses et pour que toi 
Aussi, tu me souries. 

Je l'eus au marché de Damas 
D'un vieux potier à blanche barbe de laine, 
Perdu comme un joyau dans la masse 
Des fioles et des pots de porcelaine. 

Mais tu peux l'emplir au lieu de roses 
D'encens de Bassora, si tu veux, 
Ou d'essence de roses, 
Douce Myriam, pour tes cheveux.

Tu peux y mettre encor des dragées d'Ormuz,
Des gâteaux sucrés de raisin ou de riz, 
Ô toute douce, s'il t'amuse 
De les croquer de tes dents chéries. 

Sinon je l'emplirai jusqu'au ras 
Pour y goûter la perfide langueur 
Du vin doré de Schiraz, 
Et le briser ensuite, comme ton cœur.
