Dos canciones de Rilke

Song Cycle by Juan José Castro (1895 - 1968)

1. Eau qui se presse  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Eau qui se presse, qui court ... eau oublieuse 
que la distraite terre boit, 
hésite un petit instant dans ma main creuse, 
    souvient-toi! 

Clair et rapide amour, indifférence, 
presque absence qui court, 
entre ton trop d'arrivée et ton trop de partance 
    tremble un peu de séjour.
