Lyrics and translation Samuel Barber feat. Cheryl Studer & John Browning - Four Songs Op.13: No.2 The Secrets Of The Old - Allegro giocoso
I
have
old
women's
secrets
now
J'ai
maintenant
les
secrets
des
vieilles
femmes
That
had
those
of
the
young;
Qui
avaient
ceux
des
jeunes
;
Madge
tells
me
what
I
dared
not
think
Madge
me
dit
ce
que
j'osais
pas
penser
When
my
blood
was
strong,
Quand
mon
sang
était
fort,
And
what
had
drowned
a
lover
once
Et
ce
qui
avait
noyé
un
amant
autrefois
Sounds
like
an
old
song.
Ressemble
à
une
vieille
chanson.
Though
Marg'ry
is
stricken
dumb
Bien
que
Marg'ry
soit
frappée
de
mutisme
If
thrown
in
Madge's
way,
Si
elle
est
mise
sur
le
chemin
de
Madge,
We
three
make
up
a
solitude;
Nous
trois
formons
une
solitude
;
For
none
alive
today
Car
aucun
vivant
aujourd'hui
Can
know
the
stories
that
we
know
Ne
peut
connaître
les
histoires
que
nous
connaissons
Or
say
the
things
we
say:
Ou
dire
les
choses
que
nous
disons
:
How
such
a
man
pleased
women
most
Comment
un
tel
homme
plaisait
le
plus
aux
femmes
Of
all
that
are
gone,
De
tous
ceux
qui
sont
partis,
How
such
a
pair
loved
many
years
Comment
un
tel
couple
a
aimé
pendant
de
nombreuses
années
And
such
a
pair
but
one,
Et
un
tel
couple
n'a
aimé
que
l'un,
Stories
of
the
bed
of
straw
Histoires
du
lit
de
paille
Or
the
bed
of
down.
Ou
du
lit
de
duvet.
