Benjamin Godard J’hai perdu ma tourterelle / I’ve lost my turtledove

Nadia Boulanger Chanson

Chanson / Elle a vendu mon coeur by Camille Mauclair

Elle a vendu mon coeur
Pour une chanson:
Vends mon coeur à la place,
ô colporteur
A la place de la chanson

Tes chansons étaint blanches
La mienne es coleur de sang:
Elle a vendu mon coeur
O colporteur
Elle a vendu mon coeur
En s’amusant

Et maintenant chante mon coeur
Sur les places, aux carrefours
Tu ferras pleurer colporteur
En racontant mon grand amour

Pendant qu’elle fera rire
Les gents à sa noce venus
En chantant la chanson pour rire
Pour chi elle ha mon coeur vendu

Song / She sold my heart for a song translation by Hélène Lindqvist

She sold my heart for a song
Sell my heart at the square,
dealer,
in place of the song

Your songs were white
My song is the color of blood
She sold my heart,
dealer,
for the fun of it

And now my heart sings
at the squares, at the crossroads
You will make people cry,
dealer,
telling the story of my vast love

Meanwhile she will entertain the people
attending her wedding
singing the funny song
for which she sold my heart

Nadia Boulanger Cantique

Cantique by Maurice Maeterlinck

A toute âme qui pleure
A tout péché qui passe
J’ouvre au sein des étoiles
mes mains pleines de grâces

Il n’est péché qui vive
Quand l’amour a parlé
Il n’est àme qui meure
Quand l’amour a pleuré

Et si l’amour s’égare
Aux sentiers d’icibas
Ses larmes me retrouvent
Et ne s’égarent pas

Hymn translation by Hélène Lindqvist

To all weeping souls
to all sin to pass
I open in the midst of the stars
my hands full of grace

No sin lives
where love speaks
No soul dies
where love weeps

And if love gets lost
on the paths of the earth
Its tears will find me
and not go astray

Boulanger - Cantique

Adolf Jensen Lehn’ deine Wang’ / Lay your cheek against my cheek

Lehn deine Wang’ an meine Wang’ by H. Heine

Lehn deine Wang’ an meine Wang’,
Dann fliessen die Tränen zusammen;
Und an mein Herz drück fest dein Herz,
Dann schlagen zusammen die Flammen!

Und wenn in die große Flamme fliesst
Der Strom von unsern Tränen,
Und wenn dich mein Arm gewaltig umschließt -
Sterb’ ich vor Liebessehnen!

Lay your cheek against my cheek translation by Emily Ezust
at the great Lied, Art Song, and Choral Texts Archive

Lay your cheek against my cheek,
Then our tears will flow together;
And against my heart press firmly your heart,
Then their flames will leap together!

And when, into the great flame, flows
The stream of our tears,
And when my arm embraces you powerfully -
I shall die of love’s yearning!

Jensen - Lehn deine wang
