Trois Mélodies

Song Cycle by Graciane Finzi (b. 1945)

1. T’en souvient‑il  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Un soir, t'en souvient-il ? Tes chants ont arrêté mes larmes. 
Et j'éprouvais l'Amour par l'infini de la tristesse.
J'ai crié, tu n'as pas répondu. 
Et mon cœur s'est lassé de tout, même de l'espérance.
J'ai trop vu, trop senti, trop aimé. 
Je ne veux plus d'un monde où tout change, tout passe,
jusqu'au souvenir où le jour du bonheur n'a pas de lendemain.
Un soir, t'en souvient-il ? J'ai crié.

Au coucher du soleil, tristement je m'assieds ; 
Mon cœur lassé de tout même de l'espérance,
n'ira plus de ses vœux importuner le sort ;
La source de mes jours s'est écoulée.
Elle a passé sans bruit, sans nom et sans retour.

3. La vie, l’amour  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Dans l'ombre assouplie
Le ciel se replie.
Le léger nuage monte, flotte et nage
Il avance, il foule ce chaos qui roule.
L'espace étincelle, la flamme ruisselle.
Les flots éclairés des monts colorés.
