3. Chanson du Soir [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français)

Je n'ai rencontré personne... 
  J'étais trop petit. 
Je n'ai rencontré personne 
  Quand je suis sorti. 

J'ai cherché pendant une heure 
  En grinçant des dents, 
J'ai tourné pendant une heure
  Qui dura cent ans. 

J'ai crispé mon poing farouche 
  Vers le ciel des cieux... 
Un air lourd m'a clos la bouche 
  Et m'a clos les yeux.

J'entendis par la forêt 
  Des feuilles froissées... 
Je suis sûr que je pleurais 
  Quand Elle est passée... 

Il ne viendra plus personne, 
  Il fait presque noir... 
Rentrons. C'est ce soir l'automne. 
  Et voici le soir.

11. Intermezzo [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français)

Tu vas partir et je voudrais
Te parfumer d'une tendresse...
Tu vas partir et je voudrais
Te murmurer tout bas, tout près
Le lourd nocturne qui m'oppresse.

Tu vas partir et je ne sais
Que donner ma main fébrile...
Tu vas partir et je ne sais
Par un farouche et long baiser
Calmer mon rêve qu'on exile...

Tu vas partir et je ne puis
Articuler le mot suprême...
Tu vas partir et je ne puis
Au seuil désert des sombres nuits
Faire flamber combien je t'aime...

Tu vas partir ! le ciel natal
Submergera le ciel d'une heure...
Tu vas partir et j'ai si mal
Que je souris d'avoir trop mal
        Et que je pleure...
