Original Title: "Clair de lune"
Text: Paul Verlaine
Year: 1964
Your soul is a chosen landscape
Where goes charming Masques et Bergamasques*
Playing some luth and dancing and almost
Sad under their weird disguise
While singing on the minor mode
The victorious love and the opportune life
It does not seem like they believe in their happiness
And their song mixes with the moonlight
Under the clam moonlight, sad and beautiful,
Which makes the birds dream in the trees
And the water jets sob of extasy
The big water jets svelt among the marbles
*Opera by G. Fauré
