Vous ne priez pas
Music: Georges Bizet (1838–1875) · Words: Casimir Delavigne (1793–1843)
Mon bien aimé, dans mes douleurs,
Je viens de la ci- té des pleurs,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (4:42) 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
Mon bien aimé, dans mes douleurs,
Je viens de la ci- té des pleurs,
Pour vous demander des prières.
Vous me disiez, penché vers moi:
“Si je vis, je prierai pour toi.”
Voilà vos paroles dernières.
Hélas! hélas! Depuis Que j’ai quitté vos
bras,
Jamais je n’entends vos prières Hélas!
hélas! J’écoute, et vous ne priez pas!
J’écoute, et vous ne priez pas!
Hé- las! J’écoute, et vous ne priez pas!
Combien nos doux ravissements,
Ami. me coûtent de tourments! Au fond de ces
tristes de- meures, Les jours n’ont ni soir
ni matin; Et l’ai– guille y tourne sans fin
Sans fin, sur un cadran sans heures:
Hélas! hélas! Vers vous, ami, levant les
bras, J’attends en vain dans ces de- meures!
Hélas! hélas! J’at- tends et vous ne priez
pas! J’attends, et vous ne priez pas!
Hé- las! J’attends et vous ne priez pas!
Adieu!
je ne reviendrai plus Vous lasser de cris
superflus, Puisqu’à vos yeux une autre est
belle. Ah! que ses baisers vous soient doux!
Je suis morte, et souffre pour vous.
Heureux d’aimer, vivez pour elle.
Hélas! hélas! Pensez quelquefois,
dans ses bras,
A l’abîme où Dieu me rappelle.
Hélas! hélas! J’y descends, ne m’y suivez
pas! J’y descends, ne m’y suivez pas!
Hé- las! J’y descends, ne m’y suivez pas
