I once heard it sung in French, on a radio broadcast by an Italian tenore, I think Tino Rossi, and wonder whether anyone knows the French lyrics. |

26 Nov 07 - 10:02 PM (#2202883) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'So Deep is the Night' (Chopin) From: GUEST Richard Tauber's rendition of 'Tristesse', in English, is worth hearing. Although both the recording and his style of delivery are very much of their time (1920s/30s) there is no discernable awkwardness of phrasing. When young I thought the subject matter amusing, relating, as I was assured it does, to the brief period of post-coital sadness experienced by some individuals. Or is that just a myth? |

27 Nov 07 - 06:22 AM (#2203022) Subject: Lyr Add: SO DEEP IS THE NIGHT (Chopin) From: GUEST,flyingcat Here's the version I know SO DEEP IS THE NIGHT Chopin/Melfi/Miller. Arr. Jason Carr So deep is the night, No moon tonight, No friendly star To guide me with its light; Be still my heart, Silent lest my love should be returning From a world far apart. So deep is the night O lonely night, On broken wings My heart has taken flight And left a dream. In my dream our lips are blending, Will my dream be never ending? Will your mem'ry haunt me till I die? Alone am I, Deep into the night, Waiting for the light, Alone am I, I wonder why? Deep is the night. I remember it from my childhood in my aunt's attic room on a wind up gramophone! Lovely song, Moira |

27 Nov 07 - 02:07 PM (#2203289) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'So Deep is the Night' (Chopin) From: GUEST,monoglot Yes, those are the english words I've heard, and was never too keen on lips "blending", or the "I wonder why" bit. Could be worse; if they'd wanted to rhyme with something like "night is speeding" or "never heeding" or "always needing/pleading" it might put you in mind of vampyrs. But phrases from the French I recall include "mais le jour parait trop vite", "qu'un souvenir", and it begins with something like "L'ombre s'en fuit". If only I could get these French words, you see, I could sing it without the embarrassment of (what I find) awkward lines; and yes, it is exactly the kind of song Tauber did so well. |

25 Aug 19 - 05:06 PM (#4005852) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: So Deep Is the Night (Chopin) From: keberoxu There may be more than one French lyric to this melody. Here is the one I found on the Internet. L'OMBRE S'EN FUIT (TRISTESSE) by Jean Loysel L'ombre s'en fuit, Adieu, beau rêve Où les baisers S'offraient comme des fleurs La nuit fût brève, Hélas! pourquoi Si tôt fermer nos coeurs À l'appel du bonheur L'ombre s'en fuit Ma lèvre hésite À murmurer Après de doux aveux Des mots d'Adieux Le soleil paraît trop vite Faut-il donc Que l'on se quitte? Que m'importe à moi L'envoi du temps Je voudrais tant Retarder l'aurore Et t'aimer encore L'ombre s'en fuit Tout n'est que songe Et tu n'es plus Malgré tous 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 -- from the film Le chanteur inconnu (1939?) |
