The white moon shines in the woods
From each branch springs a voice beneath the arbor
Oh my beloved...
Like a deep mirror
the pond reflects the silhouette
of the black willow where the wind weeps
Let us dream! It is the hour...
A vast and tender calm
seems to descend f
rom a sky made iridescent
by the moon
It is the exquisite hour!
La Vie en Rose - Edith Piaf & Louiguy
A gaze that make me lower my own
A laugh that is lost on his lips
Here is the un-retouched portrait
Of the man to whom I belong
When he takes me in his arms
And speaks softly to me
I see life in rosy hues
He tells me words of love
Everyday words
And it does something to me
He has come into my heart
A share of happiness
For which I know the reason
He is for me and I am for him for life
He has told me, has sworn it for life
And as soon as I glimpse him
I can feel my beating heart
Fleurs - Francis Poulenc & Louise Vilmorin
Promised flowers, flowers held in your arms
Flowers from a step’s parentheses
Who brought you these flowers in winter
Sprinkled with the sand of the sea?
Sand of your kisses, flowers of faded loves
Beautiful eyes are ashes and in the hearth
A heart beribboned with grievances
Burns with its sacred images
Promised flowers, flowers held in your arms
Who brought you these flowers in winter
Sprinkled with the sand of the sea
Once Upon A Summertime - Michel Legrand & Eddy Marnay
You can't live like you do
With a memory that's nothing but a regret
Without a friend and without another secret
Just a few tears
For these few pages of melancholy
You closed the book of your life
And you believed everything was over
But all the lilacs
All the lilacs of May
Will never end
Will never end
Celebrating the hearts of people who love each other
love each other
As long as time will turn
Until the last
Until the last spring
The sky will be
The sky will be twenty years old
For lovers, it will be just the same
Au bord de l’eau - Gabriel Faure & Sully Prudhomme
To sit together on the bank of a flowing stream
To watch it flow;
Together, if a cloud glides by
To watch it glide;
On the horizon, if smoke rises from a chimney
To watch it rise;
If nearby a flower smells sweet
To savour its sweetness;
To listen at the foot of the willow, where water murmurs
To the murmuring water;
Not to feel, while this dream passes,
The passing of time;
But feeling no deep passion
Except to adore each other
With no cares for the quarrels of the world
To know nothing of them;
And alone together, seeing all that tires
Not to tire of each other
To feel that love, in the face of all that passes
Shall never pass!
V'là l'bon vent
Go good wind, go pretty wind
Go good wind, my friend is calling
Go good wind, go pretty wind
Go good wind, she waits for me
Verses:
1) Behind our house there is a pond – Three handsome ducks went for a swim
2) Three handsome ducks went for a swim – The king’s son went hunting
3) The king’s son went hunting – With his great silver gun
4) With his great silver gun – Wounded the black, killed the white
5) Wounded the black, killed the white – O, son of the king, you are cruel
A la claire fontaine
At the clear fountain
As I went for a walk,
I found the water so beautiful
That I bathed there
(refrain)
I have loved you for a long time
Never will I forget you
​
Under the leaves of an oak tree
I dried myself
On the highest branch
The nightingale sang
(refrain)
​
Sing nightingale, sing
You who have a merry heart;
You have the heart to laugh
I have one to weep
​
(refrain)
​
I have lost my friend
Without deserving it
For a bouquet of roses
That I refused him
(refrain)
Youkali - Kurt Weill & Roger Fernay
It is almost in the end of the world
My boat wandering
at the mercy of the waves
Took me there one day.
This island is small
But the fairy that lives ther
Gently invite us
To take a tour
Youkali, it is the land of our desires
Youkali, it is happiness and pleasure
Youkali, it is the land where one leaves all cares
It is the light in our night
The star we follow, that's Youkali
Youkali, it is the respect of all the taken vows
Youkali, it is the country of beautiful love
It is the hope in the heart of all humans
The deliverance that we wait for tomorrow
Youkali, it is the land of our desires
Youkali, it is happiness and pleasure
But it is a dream, is madness
There is no Youkali
