Lyrics and translation Frederick Delius - Sweet Venevil
Sweet
Venevil
ran
with
her
ligt
young
feet
Douce
Venevil
courait
avec
ses
jeunes
pieds
légers
Her
lover
to
meet
Pour
rencontrer
son
amant
Her
lover
to
greet
Pour
saluer
son
amant
She
sang
and
her
voice
o'er
the
church
roof
rang
Elle
chantait
et
sa
voix
résonnait
au-dessus
du
toit
de
l'église
Good
day
good
day
Bonjour,
bonjour
Good
day
good
day
Bonjour,
bonjour
And
all
the
little
songbirds
Et
tous
les
petits
oiseaux
chanteurs
They
gailly
sang
with
her
Chantaient
gaiement
avec
elle
On
midsummer
night
there
is
dance
and
delight
La
nuit
de
la
Saint-Jean,
il
y
a
des
danses
et
des
délices
But
alas
little
sure
I
am
Mais
hélas,
je
suis
peu
sûr
That
she'll
ever
be
his
bride
Qu'elle
soit
un
jour
sa
fiancée
SHe
wove
him
a
wreath
of
flowers
blue
Elle
lui
a
tressé
une
couronne
de
fleurs
bleues
As
my
eyes
so
blue
my
eyes
so
true
Comme
mes
yeux
si
bleus,
mes
yeux
si
vrais
He
took
it
and
threw
it
and
took
it
again
Il
la
prit
et
la
jeta,
puis
la
reprit
Farewell
my
love
farewell
farewell
Adieu,
mon
amour,
adieu,
adieu
He
bounded
over
the
meadows
rejoicing
all
the
way
Il
bondit
à
travers
les
prés,
se
réjouissant
tout
le
chemin
On
midsummer
night
there
is
dance
and
delight
La
nuit
de
la
Saint-Jean,
il
y
a
des
danses
et
des
délices
But
alas
little
sure
I
am
Mais
hélas,
je
suis
peu
sûr
That
she'll
ever
be
his
bride
Qu'elle
soit
un
jour
sa
fiancée
