Amour sans ailes
Song Cycle by Reynaldo Hahn (1874 - 1947)
View original-language texts alone: Love without wings
Ah ! Could I clasp thee in mine arms, And thou not feel me there ; Asleep, and free from vain alarms, Asleep, and unaware ! Ah ! Could I kiss thy pallid cheek, And thou not know me nigh ; Asleep at last, and very meek Who wert as proud as I !
Ah ! que ne puis-je te serrer dans mes bras ! Et toi ne pas me sentir là ; Endormi, et libre d’inutiles inquiétudes, Endormi, et insouciant ! Ah ! que ne puis-je baiser ta pâle joue Et toi, ne pas me savoir si proche ; Endormi enfin, et tout humble Toi qui fus aussi fier que moi !

The fallen oak Still keeps its yellow leaves But all its growth is o’er. So at your name, my heart still beats and grieves Although I love no more.
Le chêne abattu Garde encore ses feuilles jaunes Mais toute sa force est partie. De même à ton nom, mon cœur, encor, bat et s’afflige Bien que je n’aime plus.

I know you love me not... I do not love you... Only at dead of night, I smile a little... Softly dreaming of you Until the dawn is bright. I love you not ; you love me not ; I know it ! But when the day is long I haunt you like the magic of a poet... And charm you like a song.
Je sais tu ne m'aimes pas Je ne t'aime pas... Seulement à la fin de la nuit, je souris un peu... En rêvant doucement à toi Jusqu'à ce que l'aube ne brille. Je ne t'aime pas, tu ne m'aimes pas ; Je le sais ! Mais quand le jour se fait long Je te captive comme le charme d'un poète Et je t'obsède comme une chanson.
