L'eau douce du pardon

Song Cycle by Philippe Boesmans (b. 1936)

1. Ce soir mon cœur fait chanter  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Ce soir mon cœur fait chanter
des anges qui se souviennent...
Une voix, presque mienne,
par trop de silence tentée,

monte et se décide
à ne plus revenir ;
tendre et intrépide,
à quoi va-t-elle s'unir ?
