Deux poèmes de Louis Aragon, FP122: I. C.
Translated by Lisette Oropesa
FRENCH:
C.
J'ai traversé les ponts de Cé
C'est là que tout a commencé
Une chanson des temps passé
Parle d'un chevalier blessé
D'une rose sur la chaussée,
Et d'un corsage délacé
Du château d'un duc insensé,
Et des cygnes dans les fossés
De la prairie où vient danser
Une éternelle fiancée
Et j'ai bu comme un lait glacé,
Le long lai des gloires faussées
La Loire emporte mes pensées
Avec les voitures versées
Et les armes désamorcées
Et les larmes mal effacées
O ma France, ô ma délaissée;
J'ai traversé les ponts de Cé.
ENGLISH:
C.
I crossed the bridges of Cé
It’s there that everything started
A song of times gone by
Talks of a wounded knight
Of a rose on the road,
And of an undone blouse
Of the castle of an insane Duke,
And of swans in their ditches
Of the meadow where comes to dance
An eternal fiancée
And I drank like icy milk,
The long lay of wrongful glories
The Loire takes away my thoughts
With overturned vehicles
And the defused weapons
And the tears not well hidden
O my France, oh my neglected one;
I crossed the bridges of Cé.

Finally, I found a version of this that does justice to the perfection of the song itself. So beautiful. Lisette is really one of the greatest singers of our time AND of previous times.

[@La_musicienne123]

Lisette,
Vous êtes une grande cantatrice et ma favorite chanteuse!
Je suis contente de vous entendre♡

[@laurianen.5754]

Magnifique voix, émotion, diction parfaite !!

[@LukeFaulkner]

Sublime.

[@hashatz]

One of the most gifted sopranos ever to grace the public with her sublime vocal art. Words are inadequate; one must listen in order to hear the inner glow that emanates from her performances time and time again.

[@fredrickroll06]

Heartbreaking! TERRIFIC!!

[@ЛюбоаПерсик]

Это совершенство. Спасибо, Лизетта.

[@catherinedurbin9298]

This song has haunted me for years. A beautiful performance.

[@lessismore4470]

Absolutely great. Greetings from Opole, Poland.

[@AlysseSailor]

This, on a snowey blustery day in Canada. It's like that extra froth on a latte that makes life just worth enjoying. Such decadent line. The overtone evenness in the range! Gah so beautiful!

[@Luca-gj9xn]

You are very good and Poulenc is really brilliant. My choir sang "Les Tisserands" in quarantine style. Write this down in the research. You will love it for sure:

[@amarilysoropeza4400]

I truly enjoy your voice 💜

[@tropikaki]

Sublime. Merci

[@adrianafrancese6974]

AMAZING VOICE!!!!CONGRATULATIONS

[@ludovicpaste2969]

chère très grande artiste vous faites avec maestria ce que Maria Callas n'a pas su ou pu ou voulu faire = de la mélodie avec une voix une implication et une technique de grand opéra ! bravo je vous admire désormais pour cette raison aussi = la Dame de Montecarlo est dans votre répertoire je suppose ? From Champagne area with respect and admiration

[@krzysceryn1302]

beautiful! I hear something Gheoghiu alike...

[@eligostheexalted]

As a baritone, I'm very jealous of my Tenor and Soprano friends who can sing this beautiful song easily. LOL! Good work.

[@jefgong]

C'est étonnant, sans le rechercher sûrement, Lisette Oropesa parvient à ressembler à Denise Duval.

[@irinadz]

I'd have married in this dress)

[@AlysseSailor]

I have been trying to find the sheet music for this piece for two months since I heard this recordings. Where can you get it? It seems to be very hard to find.
