Fugitives. Tre frammenti da Baudelaire

Song Cycle by Riccardo Piacentini (b. 1958)

?. Le voyage
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
 ... 

Singulière fortune où le but se déplace,
Et, n'étant nulle part, peut être n'importe où !
Où l'Homme,  ... 
Pour trouver le repos court toujours comme un fou !

Ouvre l'œil ! Amour... gloire... bonheur !

L'Imagination qui dresse son orgie
Ne trouve qu'un récif.

 ...
