CHANSON D’AUTOMNE
Chanson d’automne is the beautiful sister piece to “Soleils couchants” . Robert has given evocative impressionistic settings to the Paul Verlaine poetry. The Vancouver Chamber Choir toured with these two pieces in 2012.
Les sanglots longs
des violons
de l’automne
blessent mon coeur
d’une langueur
monotone.
Tout suffocant
et blême, quand
sonne l’heure.
je me souviens
des jours anciens,
et je pleure…
Et je m’en vais
au vent mauvais
qui m’emporte
de çà, de là,
pareil à la
feuille morte…
Paul Verlaine (Poèmes saturniens)
translation
Song of autumn
The long sobs
of the violins
in autumn
wound my heart,
a languorous
monotone.
Suffocating,
and pale, when
the hour strikes,
I remember
days gone by
and I weep;
And I go away
in the ill wind
which carries me off
hither and thither
like a
dead leaf.
