Adieux de l’hôtesse arabe
Music: Georges Bizet (1838–1875) · Words: Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
Puisque rien ne t’arrêteen cet heureux
pays. Ni l’ombre du palmier, ni le jaune
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (4:36) 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
Puisque rien ne t’arrêteen cet heureux
pays. Ni l’ombre du palmier, ni le jaune
maïs, Ni le repos, ni l’abon- dance,
Ni de voir, à ta voix, battre le jeune sein De
nos sœurs dont, les soirs,
le tournoyant essaim
Couronne un còteau de sa danse,
Adieu, beau voya– geur! Hélas
adieu! Oh! que n’es– tu de ceux Qui donnent
pour limiteà leurs pieds pares- seux!
Leur toit de branches ou de toiles!
Qui rêveurs, sans en faire,é– coutent les
récits, Et souhaitent le soir,
devant leur porte assis, De s’en aller dans
les
é– toiles!
Hélas!
Adieu!
Adieu!
beau voya- geur!
Si tu l’avais voulu, peutêtre une de nous,
O jeune homme, eut aimé te servir à genoux
Dans nos hut– tes toujours ouvertes;
Elle eut fait, en bercant ton sommeil de ses
chants, Pour chasser de ton front les
moucherons méchants, Un éven– tail de
feuilles vertes.
Si tu ne reviens pas,
Songe un peu quelque fois Aux filles du
désert, sœurs à la douce voix, Qui dansent
pieds nus sur la dune, O beau jeune homme
blanc, bel oiseau passager, Souvienstoi,
Souvienstoi, car peutêtre ô rapide
étran– ger, Ton souvenir reste à plus d’une!
Hélas!
Adieu!
A- dieu!
bel étranger! Hélas! adieu!
Souvienstoi!
