Au cimetière
Music: Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) · Words: Jean Richepin (1849–1926)
Heureux qui meurt ici, Ainsi que les oiseaux
des champs!
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (3:30) 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
Heureux qui meurt ici, Ainsi que les oiseaux
des champs!
Son corps, près des a- mis Est mis dans l'herbe
et dans les chants. Il dort d'un bon sommeil
verrmeil, Sous le ciel radieux Tous ceux
qu'il a connus, venus; Lui font de longs
adieux. A sa croix les parents,
pleurants, Restent agenouillés;
Et ses os, sous les fleurs, de pleurs Sont
doucement mouillés. Chacun, sur le bois
noir, Peut voir s'il était jeune ou non.
Et peut, avec de vrais regrets,
L'appeler par son nom.
Combien plus malchanceux sont ceux qui
meurent à la mé, Et sous le flot profond S'en
vont loin du pays aimé! Ah! pauvres!
qui pour seuls linceuls Ont les goëmons
verts, Où l'on roule inconnu, tout nu,
Et les yeux grands ouverts!
Heureux qui meurt ici, Ainsi que les oiseaux
des champs!
Son corps, près des amis, Est mis dans l'herbe
et dans les chants. Il dort d'un bon sommeil
vermeil, Sous le ciel radieux.
Tous ceux qu'il a connus, venus,
Lui font de longs adieux.
