"SUR LES LAGUNES" translation
My dearest love is dead I shall weep for evermore. Into the grave she takes with her my soul and all my love. She returned to heaven without waiting for me the angel that took her would not take me too. How bitter is my fate? Alas,! to go over the sea without love! The pure white being is lying in her grave. Oh, how everything in nature seems to me to be in mourning! The forsaken dove weeps and dreams of its absent mate. My soul weeps and feels itself to be incomplete. How bitter is my fate? Alas, to go over the sea without love! Above me the immensity of night spreads like a shroud. I chant my lay, which is heard by heaven alone. Oh, how beautiful she was and how I loved her! I shall never love another women as I do her.

Merci à Susan Welland pour cette interprétation inspirée et sensible. Le chant est beau et le français très compréhensible. Juste un regret : le piano sonne trop fort comparé à la voix. Merci à Tottonian pour cette vidéo.
