4 Exemples Tirés des "Nécessités de la Vie"

Song Cycle by Guy Sacre (b. 1948)

1. Dormeur
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
  L’ombre du cœur vers le matin,
                            En hâte,
                           Au repos.
Rien n’enveloppe en son sommeil
Ce cœur plus gonflé que les vitres.
          Ombre, nuit et sommeil.
           Un cœur se débarrasse
            De tout ce qu’il ignore.

Si l’enfant meurt, la nuit prendra sa place.

 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
                                     Ombre de neige,
          Cœur blanc, sang pauvre, cœur d’enfant.
                                              Le jour.
Il y a toujours le jour du soleil et le jour des nuages.
                   Le ciel, bras ouverts, bon accueil
                                               Au ciel.

           Rien ne reste dans la maison.
