Les roses d’Ispahan
Music: Émile Paladilhe (1844–1926) · Words: Charles-Marie-René Leconte de Lisle (1818–1894)
Les roses d’Ispahan dans leur gaine de
mousse, Les jasmins de Mossoul,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (3:02) 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
Les roses d’Ispahan dans leur gaine de
mousse, Les jasmins de Mossoul,
les fleurs de l’oranger Ont un parfum moins
frais, ont une odeur moins douce Ô blanche
Léïlah ! que ton souffle léger !
Ta lèvre est de corail et ton rire léger
Sonne mieux que l’eau vive et d’une voix plus
douce, Mieux que le vent joyeux qui berce
l’oranger, Mieux que l’oi seau qui chante au
bord du nid de mousse, Mais la subtile odeur
des roses dans leur mousse, La brise qui se
joue autour de l’oranger, Et l’eau vive qui
flue avec sa plainte douce
Ont un charme plus sûr
que ton amour léger !
O Léïlah ! depuis que de leur vol léger Tous
les baisers ont fui de ta lèvre si douce Il
n’est plus de parfum dans le pàle oranger Ni
de céleste aròme aux roses dans leur mousse.
L’oiseau sur le duvet humide et sur la mousse
Ne chante plus parmi la rose et l’oranger,
L’eau vive des jardins n’a plus de chanson
douce, L’aube ne dore plus le ciel pur et
léger !
Oh ! que ton jeune amour, ce papillon léger
Revienne vers mon cœur d’une aile prompte et
douce Et qu’il parfume encor les fleurs de
l’oranger
Les roses d’Ispahan
dans leur gaine de mousse !
