"Les Berceaux" by Gabriel Fauré

"Les Berceaux" by Gabriel Fauré.

The Cradles
Along the quay, the great ships,
that ride the swell in silence,
take no notice of the cradles.
that the hands of the women rock.

But the day of farewells will come,
when the women must weep,
and curious men are tempted
towards the horizons that lure them!

And that day the great ships,
sailing away from the diminishing port,
feel their bulk held back
by the spirits of the distant cradles.

I'm singing this for my college recital in the spring, and this is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. And I know this video is like two years old, but if you see this comment, I would like to let you know that you will go FAR. I've seen you in Broad Street Line as well. You're voice is amazing and you're expression. And the French is belissima!

That is all, thanks for sharing your talent with the world. I wish you all the luck in the future.

Sincerely,

A Fan
