Lyrics and translation Julius Drake feat. Ian Bostridge - Sleep
Come,
Sleep,
and
with
thy
sweet
deceiving
Viens,
sommeil,
et
avec
ta
douce
tromperie
Lock
me
in
delight
awhile;
enferme-moi
dans
le
plaisir
un
moment
;
Let
some
pleasing
dream
beguile
Laisse
un
rêve
plaisant
tromper
All
my
fancies;
that
from
thence
toutes
mes
fantaisies
; que
de
là
I
may
feel
an
influence
je
puisse
sentir
une
influence
All
my
powers
of
care
bereaving!
me
privant
de
tous
mes
pouvoirs
de
souci !
Though
but
a
shadow,
but
a
sliding,
Même
si
ce
n’est
qu’une
ombre,
qu’un
glissement,
Let
me
know
some
little
joy!
fais-moi
connaître
un
peu
de
joie !
We
that
suffer
long
annoy
Nous
qui
souffrons
longtemps
de
la
peine
Are
contented
with
a
thought
nous
nous
contentons
d’une
pensée
Through
an
idle
fancy
wrought:
forgée
par
une
fantaisie
oisive :
O
let
my
joys
have
some
abiding
Oh,
que
mes
joies
aient
un
certain
repos
O
let
my
joys
have
some
abiding.
Oh,
que
mes
joies
aient
un
certain
repos.
