Libretto:
Les donneurs de sérénades
Et les belles écouteuses
Échangent des propos fades
Sous les ramures chanteuses.
C'est Tircis et c'est Aminte,
Et c'est l'éternel Clitandre,
Et c'est Damis qui pour mainte
Cruelle fit maint vers tendre.
Leurs courtes vestes de soie,
Leurs longues robes à queues,
Leur élégance, leur joie
Et leurs molles ombres bleues,
Tourbillonnent dans l'extase
D'une lune rose et grise,
Et la mandoline jase
Parmi les frissons de brise.

Translation:
The singers of serenades
Whisper their faded vows
Unto fair listening maids
Under the singing boughs.
Tircis, Aminte, are there,
Clitandre is over-long,
And Damis for many a fair
Tyrant makes many a song.
Their short vests, silken and bright,
Their long pale silken trains,
Their elegance of delight,
Twine soft blue silken chains.
And the mandolines and they,
Faintlier breathing, swoon
Into the rose and grey
Ecstasy of the moon.
She sings this sort of repertoire so well, in such a natural manner. And her diction is so clear, she gives a meaning to each word. I was never that keen on this melodie before listening to her rendition of it. She makes it both playful and delicate. Just lovely! Hope she records French melodies and other things before she retires... Many thanks!
The definitive interpretation of this song! What a delight! THIS is how you do French chanson.
The best version I've ever heard, a true french melodie, she sings it the right way.
So charming and playful! :)
simplemente bellooooo...!!!!!
I'm singing this for my school's solo ensemble and she makes it sound easy! it took me 3 weeks to learn up to the one that sounds like say t see😅 so disappointing for me
