"never before have I composed such a melody" Chopin

[@jud424]

Indeed, " Tristesse " is the one and only !
Every night I enjoy the different versions of Tristesse. Each time it echoes deeper in my heart.

[@VivienS-n2k]

Have loved this song since a child. Thank you for the beautiful interpretation,

[@raymondgarafano8604]

I don't know what this lady is saying, but damn she says it beautifully.

[@chanakannuntchai1575]

This is for me the most beautiful and purest rendition of Tristesse. ❤

[@var309]

Humans are capable of incredible beauty. This is sublime

[@jeangertsch279]

superbe tres tres beau une tres jolie voix bravo

[@jeaniedouglas9485]

Such Pure Beauty fills my heart and makes me cry

[@amabellejunia4484]

Voz e piano lindíssimos!!! Chopin eternamente maravilhoso!!! ❤❤❤

[@suzannetaichert8872]

Beautiful piano/vocal of the melodic sections, leaves out the dissonant parts. TYVM 🎉

[@MisterTayTay]

Just finding this now in my early 30’s and feel both lucky to be alive and sad to only just find this lovely song. Was in the mood for mid 19th century music with vocals, coming from Mendelssohn to this is a bit wild but absolutely welcomed. Love.

[@damayanti3231]

Timelessly beloved music

[Couplet 1]
L'ombre s'enfuit, adieu beau rêve
Où les baisers s'offraient comme des fleurs
La nuit fut brève, hélas, pourquoi si tôt
Fermer nos cœurs à l'appel du bonheur ?
L'ombre s'enfuit, ma lèvre hésite à murmurer
Après de doux aveux, des mots d'adieu
Le soleil paraît trop vite, faut-il donc que l'on se quitte ?
Que m'importe à moi l'envol du temps
Je voudrais tant retarder l'aurore, et t'aimer encore
[Couplet 2]
L'ombre s'enfuit, tout n'est que songe
Et tu n'est plus, malgré nos désirs, qu'un souvenir
Si l'amour n'est que mensonge, au parfum triste qui ronge
S'il est vrai qu'à moi ta lèvre ment
Sache pourtant que toujours, quand même
Cher amour, je t'aime éperdument
Éperdument

[@Tebancino]

[@Notsplpl]

Jesienne mgły, skwita aster krzew
I dziwnym smutkiem wieje z szarych dróg.
Swawolne ptasze umilkło i wsród łąk i wśród pól.
Skwitł wazon róż, nie ma złotych zórz,
Duszą moją targa niewymowny ból.
A pamietam w wiośnie było tak radośnie,
Gdy pieśni swych moc nucił słowik w noc, w czarowną noc.
Wiatr wionął z pól, strącił zwiędły liść,
Serce bić przestało, bo mu wiosny żal.
Wszystko gdzieś umknęło, wszystko przeminęło.
Prysł życia cel, dni pędzą w dal,
Minionych chwil nie wrócisz już
I wiosny żal

[@franciscodesdeecuador6294]

Awesome... beautiful song

[@abdulkadirbilgin383]

🥺🥺

[@francisliu9202]

what's the lyrics?

[@Ranger1216]

The melody reminds me of a christian hymn? But I do not know the name?

[@geralddadap1761]

I wonder what language was she using, French?

[@princecoffi3527]

Very sad 😢

[@maxcornise-qh2jk]

Tino Rossi sang the best version of Tristesse I’ve ever heard, yetNadine’s is quite beautiful-but there needs to be much more rubato and romance in the accompaniment!❤

[@gildareni6069]

L'esecuzione è uno studio vocale "scontato"... piatto....

[@janpociej9696]

Śpiew słowiczy, ale... hm... w świątyni można by narzucić coś na ramiona.

[@tomvillar9545]

Mojigato🙄🤫🤐

[@fulcherpj]

Beautiful!
