Sarah Brightman -- Chanson d'enfance
Pas de tendresse Et pas de joie, Loin d'ici, Loin de toi.
Rien de plus triste Que mes soupirs, Lorsque vient le jour Où il me faut partir.
Chanson d'enfance, Tu vis toujours dans ma coeur. Toi, la plus douce! Toi, la plus tendre!
C'est la chanson Qui dit toujours: Dans ton esprit Je vis toujours.
C'est la chanson Qui dit toujours: Dans ton esprit Je vis toujours.
And the last three stanzas are repeated once
Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber. Lyrics: Don Black & Charles Hart. Show: "Aspects of love" (1989). This is the Pyreneean theme from "Aspects of love", expanded with a new section composed this year with the proposed film of the musical in mind. Sarah Brightman had a major critical success both in London and on Broadway as Rose in this production. [from the CD-booklet] From: Surrender, The unexpected songs (1995) and The Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection (1997). Source of the lyrics: found the first three stanzas on Josh Woodward's page, with a correction and additions by me and Choy-Hsien Lin (choylin@hem.passagen.se); thanks to Melissa Hofmann (hofmannm@tcnj.edu) for the remainder of the song. Mike King (mking@remcen.ehhs.cmich.edu) sent me a rough translation in English of the first three stanzas, and Melissa Hofmann of the fourth (and fifth), with some corrections by Celui (celui@geocities.com): Song of innocence Empty of tenderness And empty of joy, Faraway from here, Faraway from you.
Nothing of more sadness Than my sighs, When the day comes That I must leave.
Song of innocence, You live always in my heart. You, the most sweet! You, the most tender!
It's the song That always says: In your spirit I will live forever.
