Baisers perdus
Music: Marie Jaëll (1846–1925) · Words: Jean Richepin (1849–1926)
Pauvres voyageurs las Qui vont cherchant
fortune
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:36) 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
Pauvres voyageurs las Qui vont cherchant
fortune
Des oi- seaux de passage au mât se sont posés,
Et leur chant retentit par les airs accoisés
Dans la hune.
Vers son pâle amoureux gon- flant sa gorge
brune, La mer envoie au ciel ses vœux
inapaisés. Des lèvres de ses flots monte un
vol de bai- sers À la lune...
Pauvres voyageurs las, vous trouverez
fortune. Vous oublierez vos maux aux pays
embrasés, Làbas!
Et c'est de quoi si gaîment vous causez Dans
la hune...
Mais toi, mer, à quoi bon gonfler ta gorge
brune? De l'astre qui te fuit tes beaux seins
méprisés Se soulèvent en vain vers les
lointains bai- sers de la lune...
Heureux le simple cœur Qui va cherchant
fortune Avec des rêves sûrs d'être
réali- sés! Il est joyeux ainsi que ces
oiseaux posés Dans la hune.
Moi, j'ai, comme la mer gonflant sa gorge
brune,
D'impossibles désirs, des vœux inapaisés,
Et je prodigue aussi d'inutiles baisers À
la lune.
