Mark Hayes (b. 1953) Mr. Secrest Steal away to heaven Mrs. Secrest Wade in the water Mr. and Mrs. Secrest Translations Habenera Composer-Pauline Viardot Poet-unknown Come, little-one, with me to the sea; on the beach I have a boat. We shall sail as two in it; there only one knows how to love. Ah, blonde, if you knew! Give me, give me your love. Pioggia (Rain) Composer-Ottorino Respighi Poet-unknown It was raining: through the windows wide open, thrown open for respite from the persistent heat. There arose from the garden the fresh breath, on grass and flowers, restored to life by the rain. The riotous colors were subdued under the veil of drops so long desired. And around to the poplars, the ash and laurel trees, the thirsty soil drank greedily. How wonderful, I thought, to be a leaf, a plant, a stalk. And from the anguish of fervent heat, receive such abundant refreshment from heaven. Leaning out of the window I looked at the trees, the flowers, the grass, and the rain beat down on my hair. Abbandono (Abbandoned) Composer-Ottorino Respighi Poet-unknown I am very tired of struggling. Give me the peace you alone can give. I am very tired of thinking. Give me the serenity of your grand eyes. I am very tired of dreaming. You awaken me to a glorious day. I am very tired of wandering. Lead me on wings and call me to rest. lnvito alla danza (Invitation to dance) Composer-Ottorino Respighi Poet-C. Zangarini Angelic one, my soft arms envelop thee. You are the vessel of love; the sail, angelic one, you lack. I am the sail that will lead you through the cerulean sea. You are the little ship that the sea of music touches . I am the robust sail that directs the trip. The ship ascends again, descends, the sail lowers, and spreads out. Do you want the wave to unwind in the strains of a pleasant gavotte? Do you want the waltz to dissolve your long feverish course? I bow ceremoniously, angelic one, and invite you to the dance. Nevicata (Snowfall) Composer-Ottorino Respighi Poet-Ada Negri Onto the field and the road, silent and light, the snow circles and falls. The layer of white flakes dances and falls playfully from the sky. At last it settles heavily onto the earth. Countless flakes fall onto rooftops and chimneys, and onto sleepy gardens. There is a feeling of peace, and quiet calms the earth. Indifferent, clean and silent, it gives the heart immense calmness, and one thinks of love. Nebbie (Mists) Composer-Ottorino Respighi Poet-Ada Negri 1 suffer, far away , the sleepy mists are rising from the silent plain. High above, the ravens call out. On their strong black wings they fly ominously across the moorland. To the cruel, biting winds, the sad looking trees lift their bare branches in prayer. How cold I am! I am alone! Through the grey sky, a sigh flies up from the dead. It calls to me: come; the valley is dark, o sad, unloved one. Come! Come! Ouvre ton Coeur (Open your heart) Composer-Georges Bizet Poet-Louis Delatre The daisy closed its flower crown. Twilight closed the eyes of day . My lovely one, will you keep your word? Open your heart to my love. Oh, young angel, to my ardor. May a dream enchant your slumber. ... . Open your heart, I want to take back my soul. Open your heart, oh, young angel, to my ardor, like a flower opens to the sun. J'ai pleuri en reve (I wept in my dream) Composer-George Hiie Poet-Heinrich Heine I wept in my dream; I dreamed that you were dead... .. I awoke and the tears were flowing down my cheeks. I wept in my dream; I dreamed that you left me... . . I awoke and I wept bitterly for a long time. I wept in my dream; I dreamed that you loved me still. .... I awoke, I awoke, and the torrent of my tears flows endlessly. Fleur jetie (Abandoned Flower) Composer-Gabriel Faure Poet-Armand Silvestre Carry away my passion at the will of the wind, flower gathered with a song, and thrown away in a dreatn. Carry away my passion at the will of the wind, like a cut flower, perishes love. The hand that has touched you shuns my hand forever; let the wind that withers you, oh, poor flower, a while ago so fresh, and tomorrow colorless, let the wind that withers you, oh, poor flower, let the wind that withers you, wither my heart.
