À une Fleur
Music: Georges Bizet (1838–1875) · Words: Louis Charles Alfred de Musset (1810–1857)
Que me veuxtu, chère fleurette,
Aimable et charmant souvenir?
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (3:49) 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
Que me veuxtu, chère fleurette,
Aimable et charmant souvenir?
Demimorte et demicoquette,
Jusqu'à moi qui te fait venir? Sous ce cachet
enveloppée, Tu viens de faire un long
chemin; Qu’astu vu? que t’a dit la main,
Qui sur le buisson t’a cou- pée?
N'estu qu’une herbe dessé- chée,
Qui vient achever de mourir? Ou ton sein,
prêt à refleu- rir, Renfermet-il une
pensée? Ta fleur, hélas! a la blan- cheur De
la désolante innocence; Mais de la
craintive espé- rance Ta feuille porte la
couleur, Astu pour moi quelque message?
Tu peux parler, je suis dis- cret.
Ta verdure estelle un secret? Ton parfum
estil un lan- gage? S’il en est ainsi,
parle bas, Mystéri- euse messagère;
S’il n’en est rien, ne réponds pas;
Dors sur mon cœur, fraiche et légère.
Je connais trop bien cette main,
Pleine de grâce et de caprice,
Qui d'un brin de fil souple et fin A noué ton
pâle ca- lice, Cette main là,
petite fleur, Ni Phidias, ni Praxitèle
N'en auraient pu trouver la sœur,
Qu'en prenant Vénus pour modèle!
Elle est blanche, elle est douce et belle,
Franche, diton, et plus encor;
A qui saurait s’emparer d’elle,
Elle peut ouvrir un trésor! Mais elle est
sage, elle est sé- vère; Quelque mal
pourrait m’arriver, Fleuret- te,
craignons sa colère, Ne dis rien,
laisse– moi rêver. Ne dis rien,
fleurette, laisse- moi rêver!
laisse– moi rêrêver!
