Lyrics and translation Samuel Barber feat. Cheryl Studer & John Browning - Two Songs Op.18: Monks And Raisins - Allegro
I
have
observed
pink
monks
eating
blue
raisins.
J'ai
observé
des
moines
roses
manger
des
raisins
bleus.
And
I
have
observed
blue
monks
eating
pink
raisins.
Et
j'ai
observé
des
moines
bleus
manger
des
raisins
roses.
Studiously
have
I
observed.
J'ai
observé
avec
assiduité.
Now
this
is
the
way
a
pink
monk
eats
a
blue
raisin;
Voici
comment
un
moine
rose
mange
un
raisin
bleu
;
Pink
is
he
and
it
is
blue
and
the
pink
swallows
the
blue.
Il
est
rose
et
c'est
bleu
et
le
rose
avale
le
bleu.
I
swear
this
is
true.
Je
te
jure
que
c'est
vrai.
And
the
way
a
blue
monk
eats
a
pink
raisin
is
this:
Et
la
manière
dont
un
moine
bleu
mange
un
raisin
rose
est
celle-ci
:
Blue
is
he
and
it
is
pink
and
the
blue
swallows
the
pink.
Il
est
bleu
et
c'est
rose
et
le
bleu
avale
le
rose.
I
swear
this
is
true.
Je
te
jure
que
c'est
vrai.
Indeed
I
have
observed
and
myself
partaken
of
blue
and
pink
raisins.
En
effet,
j'ai
observé
et
j'ai
moi-même
goûté
des
raisins
bleus
et
roses.
But
my
joy
was
different:
Mais
ma
joie
était
différente
:
My
joy
was
to
see
the
blue
and
the
pink
counterpointing.
Ma
joie
était
de
voir
le
bleu
et
le
rose
se
contrepointer.
