Les roses d’Ispahan
Music: G. Fauré (1845–1924) · Words: Leconte de Lisle (1818–1894)
Les roses d’Ispahan dans leur gaîne de
mousse, Les jasmins de Mossoul,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:42) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.
The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.
The words
Les roses d’Ispahan dans leur gaîne de
mousse, Les jasmins de Mossoul,
les fleurs de l’oranger,
Ont un parfum moins frais, ont une odeur
moins douce, Ô blanche Leïlah !
que ton souffle léger.
Ta lèvre est de corail et ton rire léger
Sonne mieux que l’eau vive et d’une voix plus
douce,
Mieux que le vent joyeux qui berce l’oranger,
Mieux que l’oiseaux qui chante au bord d’un
nid de mousse.
O Leïlah ! depuis que de leur vol léger Tous
les baisers ont fui de ta lèvre si douce Il
n’est plus de parfum dans le pâle oranger,
Ni de céleste arôme aux roses dans leur
mousse.
Oh ! que ton jeune amour ce papillon léger
Revienne vers mon cœur d’une aile prompte et
douce. Et qu’il parfume encor la fleur de
l’oranger, Les roses d’Ispahan dans leur
gaîne de mousse.
