Deux romances sentimentales

by Arthur Honegger (1892 - 1955)

1. Quand tu verras les hirondelles
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Quand tu verras les hirondelles
A ta fenêtre voletant
Si tu n'as pas de mes nouvelles
A l'approche de doux printemps
Choisis la plus triste d'entre elles
Ecoute son gazouillement
Il te dira « je suis fidèle
Mais je meurs loin de mon amant »

Quand tu verras les hirondelles
Se rassembler au bord du toit
Pour fuit cette saison cruelle
Qui fait choir la feuille des bois
Pour me rejoindre à tire d'ailes
Me voir une dermière fois
Si tu ne partais pas comme elles
Je serais morte loin de toi.

2. Si le mal d'amour
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Si le mal d'amour tient en peinne
ton coeur en proie au noir souci
prends le sentier d'ombre tui mène
au vert vallon fleuri
A pas lents arrive à la pierre
là sur la mousse assieds toi
Adresse aux verts une prière 
à la source, aux nuages, aux bois
Car la nature est une mère 
qui consolera tes douleurs 
en séchant tes larmes amères
avec un frais bouquet de fleurs
