À sa guitare
Language: French (Français)  after the French (Français)
Ma guitare, je te chante,
Par qui seule je déçois,
Je déçois, je romps, j'enchante
Les amours que je reçois.
Au son de ton harmonie
Je rafraîchis ma chaleur,
Ma chaleur, flamme infinie,
Naissante d'un beau malheur.

Dir singe ich, Gitarre.
Du bist's, mit der ich narre.
So täusche, brech', verzaubre ich
alle, die je lieben mich.
Deiner Saiten Harmonie
kühlt mein heiß' Verlangen;
es brennt in mir, erschöpft sich nie:
bin einem schönen Fluch verfangen.
Composition:
Set to music by Gary Bachlund (b. 1947), "Dir singe ich, Gitarre", 2013 [ baritone or bass and piano ]
