Gentilles hirondelles
Music: Pauline Viardot (1821–1910) · Words: Victor Wilder (1835–1892)
Oiseaux légers, gentilles hiron- delles,
Si comme vous, mon cœur avait des ai– les,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:45) 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
Oiseaux légers, gentilles hiron- delles,
Si comme vous, mon cœur avait des ai– les,
Au ciel de pourpreet d'or Commeil prendrait
l'essor Et volerait vers les tourelles Où
s'est enfui mon doux trésor.
Et là, caché parmi les fleurs de sa fenêtre,
par– mi les fleurs de sa fenêtre,
Je lui dirais, en sons mélodi– eux,
L’amour qu'en mon cœur a fait naître Le doux
et chaste éclat de ses beaux yeux!
de ses beaux yeux!
Oiseaux charmants, plaintives
tourterel– les,
Si comme vous mon âme avait des ailes,
Dès que tout alentour Poindraient les feux du
jour, Je volerais vers les tourelles Où
s'est enfui mon doux amour.
Et là, caché parmi les fleurs de sa fenêtre,
parmi les fleurs de sa fe– nêtre,
Je me plaindrais en sons mélodieux Des feux
qu'en mon cœur a fait naître Le doux et chaste
éclat de ses beaux yeux de ses beaux yeux
Je lui dirais l’amour qu’a fait naître Le
chasteéclat le doux éclat de ses beaux teux!
