Notre amour
Gabriel Fauré
Our Love
Our love is a light thing
Like the scents that the wind
Takes to the tops of the fern
So we can breathe them while dreaming.
- our love is a light thing!
Our love is a charming thing,
Like the morning songs
Where no regret laments,
Where an uncertain hope vibrates.
- our love is a charming thing!
Our love is a sacred thing
Like the mysteries of the woods
Where an unknown soul quivers,
Where the silences have voices.
- our love is a sacred thing!
Our love is an infinite thing,
Like the paths of the sunsets
Where the sea, united with the skies,
Falls asleep under the leaning suns.
Our love is an eternal thing
Like everything a victorious god
Has touched with the fire of his wing,
Like everything that comes from the heart,
- our love is an eternal thing!
