Le Premier Jour de Mai
Music: Charles Gounod (1818–1893) · Words: Jean Passerat (1534–1602)
Laissons le lit et le sommeil Cette journée,
Pour nous l'aurore au front vermeil Est déjà
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:49) 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
Laissons le lit et le sommeil Cette journée,
Pour nous l'aurore au front vermeil Est déjà
née
Or que le ciel est le plus gai En ce gracieux
moi de Mai, Aimons mignonne aimons mignonne!
Contentons notre ardent désir,
En ce monde n'a du plaisir Qui ne s'en donne.
Viens, belle! viens te promener Dans ce
bocage
Entends les oiseaux jargonner De leur ramage
Mais écoute comme sur tous Le rossignol est
le plus doux Oui le plus doux Sans qu'il se
lasse Oublions tout deuil tout ennui Pour
nous réjouir comme lui Le temps se passe
Laissons les regrets et les pleurs A la
vieillesse
Jeunes il faut cueillir les fleurs De la
jeunesse
Or que le ciel est le plus gai En ce gracieux
mois de Mai Aimons mignonne aimons mignonne!
Contentons notre ardent désir En ce monde
n'a du plaisir Qui ne s'en donne.
