La rose
Music: Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) · Words: Charles-Marie-René Leconte de Lisle (1818–1894)
Je dirai la Rose aux plis gracieux.
La Rose est le souffle embaumé des Dieux.
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:24) 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
Je dirai la Rose aux plis gracieux.
La Rose est le souffle embaumé des Dieux.
Le plus cher souci des Muses divines.
Je dirai ta gloire, ô charme des yeux,
Ô fleur de kypris, reine des collines!
Tu t'épanouis entre les beaux doigts de
l'Aube écartant les ombres moroses,
L'air bleu devient rose et rose les bois;
La bouche et le sein des vierges sont roses!
Heureuse la vierge aux bras arrondis Qui
dans les halliers humides te cueille!
Heureux le front jeune où tu resplendis!
Heureuse la coupe où nage ta fueille!
Ruisselante encor du flot paternel,
Quand de la mer bleue Aphrodite éclose
Etincela nue aux clartés du ciel,
La terre jalouse enfanta la rose;
Et l'Olympe entier, d'amour transporté;
Salua la fleur avec la Beauté!
