Four Songs from “Les Visages de l'Amour” Text and Translation Translations by Philip Lasser

I. La Vallée Verdoyante I. The Verdant Valley Poem by Michel d'Arençon Poem by Michel d'Arençon

L'amour est une vallée verdoyante Love is a verdant valley Où chantent les oiseaux de l'esprit. Where birds of the spirit sing. Il berce le cœur de sa douce pente, Its gentle slope rocks the heart Et calme les douleurs qui hantent la vie. And calms life's haunting pains.

Le silence harmonieux, qui caresse l'âme, Harmonious silence, which caresses the soul, Baigne l'être dans un nectar sucré, Bathes the being in sweet nectar, Et dans chaque recoin, il y a une flamme And in each corner burns a flame Qui luit que pour ceux qui ont su aimer. Which shines but for those who have known love.

Chaque flamme illumine un petit infini Each flame illuminates a small infinity D'où coule l'eau murmurée des fleurs, Whence flows a spring whispered on by flowers, Juste assez grand pour que deux cœurs unis Just large enough so that two hearts united Puissent se contempler dans le reflet des heures. May gaze at one another in the reflection of the hours.

Chaque fleur contient des nuées mirroitantes, Within each flower lies shimmering waters Où déborde la joie par dessus les pétales. From where joy overflows beyond the petal tops; Elle coule doucement le long de la pente, Descending gently along the slope, Laissant rêver les cœurs des couleurs matinales. Letting hearts dream of the morning colors.

Les minutes se désintègrent...suivies des heures, Minutes dissolve... followed by the hours, Laissant la place à la paix immortelle et constante, Yielding to Peace both eternal and constant, Où les oiseaux chantent, gazouillent, viennent et meurent, Where the birds sing, babble, sojourn and expire, Et se nourrissent de l'amour dans la vallée verdoyante. And nourish themselves by Love in the verdant valley.

II. Dans les Bois II. In the Woods Poem by Gérard de Nerval Poem by Gérard de Nerval

Au printemps, l'oiseau naît et chante; In Springtime the bird is born and sings; N'avez-vous pas ouï sa voix?... Have you not heard its voice? ... Elle est pure, simple et touchante, It is pure, simple and touching, La voix de l'oiseau -- dans les bois! The voice of the bird -- in the woods!

(continued on next page) 12 13

L'été, l'oiseau cherche l'oiselle; In Summer, the bird seeks out his mate; Il aime, et n'aime qu'une fois. He loves and loves but once. Qu'il est doux, paisible et fidèle, How sweet, peaceful and faithful, Le nid de l'oiseau -- dans les bois! Is the nest of the bird -- in the woods!

Puis quand vient l'automne brumeuse, Then when comes foggy Autumn, Il se tait avant les temps froids. He ceases to sing before the coming cold. Hélas! qu'elle doit être heureuse Alas! how joyous it must be La mort de l'oiseau -- dans les bois! The death of the bird -- in the woods!

III. J'aime une femme III. I love a woman Poem by Paul Laurent Poem by Paul Laurent

J'aime une femme aux yeux qui brament I love a woman whose eyes cry out Et au cœur si doux. And whose heart is so sweet. J'aime son âme qui ne me blâme I love her soul which accuses me Que pour un manque de bisous. But for a lack of kisses.

J'aime son cœur qui me protège contre l'heure I love her heart which protects me from the hour Et me donne de la joie, And gives me joy, J'aime où il demeure, dans un corps plein de douceur I love where it resides in a body so full of delight Dans laquelle je me noie. Into which I drown.

Je l'aime et donc j'existe. I love her and thus I exist. Ceci est bien loin d'être triste This is far from being sad Car nous voyons tous le jour, For we all see the light of day Bien qu'on y résiste, Resist it though we may, Pour compléter l'œuvre de l'artiste To complete the work of the Artist Et de figurer dans le portrait de l'amour. And to figure in the portrait of Love.

IV. Souvenir et Plaisir IV. Memory and Pleasure Poem by Louise de Vilmorin Poem by Louise de Vilmorin

Souvenir et plaisir ne font pas bon ménage, Memory and pleasure do not a good marriage make, Vois déferler les pleurs au revers des beaux jours, See unfurl the tears on the flip-side of beautiful days, Vois au flot du regret la parure baignée, See on the currents of regret one’s demeanor bathed, L'écharpe de minuit de sanglots imprégnée, The scarf of Midnight drenched in sobs, Vois le baiser qui cherche à rejoindre l'amour See the kiss which seeks to rejoin love, Et l'amour s'enivrer de nos larmes sauvages. And love get drunk on our savage tears
