6b Chanson mélancolique
Music: Pauline Viardot (1821–1910) · Words: Armand Silvestre (1837–1901)
Nous avons passé, ce me semble,
L'un près de l'autre sans nous voir,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:37) 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
Nous avons passé, ce me semble,
L'un près de l'autre sans nous voir,
Indifférents et sans savoir Que nos deux
cœurs battaient ensemble; Nous avons passé
sans nous voir! A mon cœur hélas!
comme au vôtre Un peu d'amour était bien dû
Et chacun de nous vole à l'autre Un bonheur à
jamais perdu! Un peu d'amour nous était dû.
Le temps sépare notre route; Du moins,
si nous avions aimé,
Le ciel sur nous se fût fermé, Nous aurions
bien souffert sans doute,
Mais du moins nous aurions aimé!
