2. Paroles d'un miroir  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Belle, belle, belle, belle !
Que voulez-vous que je dise
À votre frimousse exquise ?
Riez, rose, sans cervelle.

Je suis un petit miroir,
Je suis de glace et d’étain’
Mais vos yeux et votre teint
S’illuminent à vous voir.

Les douleurs, les ennuis pires,
Je chasse tout penser triste ;
Je ne veux (un tic d’artiste)
Refléter que vos sourires.

3. Romance  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Le bleu matin
Fait pâlir les étoiles.
Dans l'air lointain
La brume a mis ses voiles.
C'est l'heure où vont,
Au bruit clair des cascades,
Danser en rond,
Sur le pré, les Dryades.

Matin moqueur,
Au dehors tout est rose.
Mais dans mon coeur
Règne l'ennui morose.
Car j'ai parfois
A son bras, à cette heure,
Couru ce bois.
Seule à présent j'y pleure.

Le jour parait,
La brume est déchirée,
Et la forêt
Se voit pourpre et dorée.
Mais, pour railler
La peine qui m'oppresse,
J'entends piailler
Les oiseaux en liesse.

4. Chanson d'automne  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Les sanglots longs
Des violons
   De l'automne
Blessent mon cœur
D'une langueur
   Monotone.

Tout suffocant
Et blême, quand
   Sonne l'heure,
Je me souviens
Des jours anciens
   Et je pleure ;

Et je m'en vais
Au vent mauvais
   Qui m'emporte
Deçà, delà,
Pareil à la
   Feuille morte.

  • by Paul Verlaine (1844 - 1896), "Chanson d'automne", appears in Poèmes saturniens, in 3. Paysages tristes, no. 5, Paris, Alphonse Lemerre, first published 1866
