Le chat sur le toit, Op.93
Music: Mélanie Bonis (1858–1937) · Words: R. Edmond du Costal
Il dispa_ rait...
Où peutil être?
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:17) 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
Il dispa_ rait...
Où peutil être?
C'est son secret. Par la fenêtre,
Qui donc s'enfuit
Son cri bruit, Bruit encore; Appel so_ nore
Tendre et strident Qui se prolon_ ge
Et cepen_ dant, Comme en un songe,
On aperçoit Au plus haut faîte du mince toit
Sa silhouette Se décou_ pant Dans la nuit
claire.
Il va ram_ pant Se drese et flaire
Dans le ciel bleu sème de feux
La douloureuse plainte s'entend Car
l'amoureuse au loin chan_ tant En
langue humaine lui répond:
Oui! oui! oui!
Or, l'aube a lui claire et sereine Et la
clameur nocturne meurt dedans l'espace
Craintif du jour L'amour s'ef_ face Adieu
l'amour !
