Souhait
Music: Cécile Chaminade (1857–1944) · Words: Georges Richard van Ormelingen (1865–1906)
Si quelque bonne fée avait cousu des ailes
A mon dos fatigué du fardeau du malheur,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:02) 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
Si quelque bonne fée avait cousu des ailes
A mon dos fatigué du fardeau du malheur,
Je n’irais pas ainsi que ces papillons
frêles Me bercer dans le doux calice de la
fleur.
Rempli d’un seul désir, j’oublierais dans ma
course Les arbres pleins de nids qui charment
les chemins, Du doux gazouillement des
oiseaux, et la
Où boivent les enfants dans le creux de leurs
mains.
Loin des blés soleillés qu’un matin d’or
arrose, Sans m’énivrer joyeux à l’urne
d’un lys blanc, Sans poser mon léger pied sur
la rose, rose, Loin des coquelicots je
prendrais mon élan. J’accourais,
lutin bleu, vers toi, d’où tout rayonne Sur
tes lèvres en fleurs je saurais me poser,
Puis je m’envolerais de ta bouche mignonne
Ayant bu ton haleine et cueilli ton baiser.
