2 Poems

Song Cycle by Alba Rosa Viëtor (1889 - 1979)

1.   [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Avoir ça veut dire avoir
Tout appartient à moi
c'est maintenant dans ma mémoire
où tout se gardera
les fleurs, les arbres, les dunes, la mer, 
le vent qui siffle dans mes oreilles,
les vibrations une danse dans l'air 
le coucher du soleil.

2.
 (Sung text)

Language: English 
I have wanted everything
I have gotten what I wanted
sun and flowers, trees and sand
Heaven is to be regarded
everything seems so transparent
sands and air and vague vibrations
all belong to the same world
in which God created people
longing for eternity.
