paroles de chanson The Rape of Lucretia, Op. 37: "Listen! I Heard a Knock" - Janet Baker feat. Benjamin Britten, English Chamber Orchestra, Elizabeth Bainbridge & Jenny Hill




Listen
I heard a knock
Somebody is at the gate
Lucia, run and see!
Perhaps it is a messenger
Run, Lucia!
Come and sit down again, my child
It is far too late for a messenger
Beside, you have already had two letters from Lord Colatinus today
Oh, if it were he, come home again
These months we spend apart is time thrown in the grave
Perhaps this war is won or lost
What matters if it's finished?
My child!
To hear him!
Most disappointing!
But, did you not hear anything?
Who was it?
There was not a thing, madam
I was sure I heard something
It was your heart you heard
Yes
It runs after him with steady beat
Like a lost child with tireless feet
It is better to desire and not to have than not to desire at all
Have patience, madam
How cruel men are to teach us love
They wake us from the sleep of youth into the dream of passion
Then hide away
Then hide away
Then hide away
While we still yearn
How cruel men are to teach us love
Madam is tired
It is getting very late
Shall I put these wheels away, madam?
Yes, and then we'll fold this linen
