LYRICS

Fermez les yeux et sentez le malaise:

avec la lumière du lever du soleil ils

veulent toujours si tant de se rejoindre.

Lorsque tes yeux sont fermés ainsi,

cette douleur, sans relâche, sera

toujours ici.

Vers les rayons de la journée que tes

doux yeux sont si tant attirés,

donc s’il y a une douleur qui reste

lorsque tu ouvres les yeux,

c’est l’œil du cœur qui est fermé;

ouvrez les yeux du cœur,

car ils cherchent la lumière divine de Dieu.

Voyez que ton cœur ne cherche que la lumière

incomparable qui vient seulement du Père;

une douleur spéciale se formera,

donc ouvrez les yeux maintenant.

Lux æterna luceat eis.

Close your eyes and feel the uneasiness:

with the light of the sunrise,

they want so much to join.

When your eyes are closed like this,

this pain, unabated, will always be here.

Towards the rays of the day that your

sweet eyes are so drawn,

so if there is any pain that remains

when you open your eyes,

it is the eye of the heart that is closed;

open the eyes of the heart,

for they seek the divine light of God.

See that your heart only seeks the incomparable light

that comes only from the Father;

a special pain will form,

so open your eyes now.

—Rumi, Masnavi Book II: lines 85-89 (French translation by the composer)

May eternal light shine upon them. —Requiem Mass, Roman Missal
