paroles de chanson The Rape of Lucretia, Op. 37: "We'll Leave the Orchids for Lucretia" - Elizabeth Bainbridge feat. Benjamin Britten, English Chamber Orchestra, Jenny Hill & Janet Baker




We'll leave the orchids for Lucretia to arrange
Colatinus' favorite flowers
Bianca, how long will the prince stay here?
I think he's already gone
I heard someone gallop out of the courtyard just before it was light
That may not have been Tarquin
Only a Tarquin would gallop on a cobbled road
Our lady Lucretia is sleeping heavily this lovely morning
Shall I wake her?
No, don't disturb her
It isn't often she sleeps so well, forever fretting for Colatinus
I often wonder whether Lucretia's love is the flower of her beauty
Or whether her loveliness is the flower of her love
For in her both love and beauty, a transformer of dreams
Oh, here she comes
Good morning, my lady
Good morning, my lady
I hope you had happy dreams
If it were all a dream, then waking would be less a nightmare
Did you sleep well?
As heavily as death
Look what a lovely day it is, and see
How wonderful are all these flowers
Yes
What a lovely day it is, and how wonderful are all these flowers
You have arranged them prettily
But we have left his lordship's favorite flowers for you to do
How kind of you
Where are they?
Here, my lady
The most perfect orchids I have ever seen
How hideous!
Take them away!
But, my lady, they are such lovely flowers
These are the orchids you have grown
Take them away, I tell you
Oh, monstrous flowers!
How heinous!
Ah!
Lucio, go send a messenger to my Lord Colatinus
What are you waiting for?
Go!
Go!
What message, madam, shall I give the
Messenger to take to Lord Colatinus?
Give him this orchid
Tell him I find its purity apt, and that its petals contain
Woman's pleasure and woman's pain, and all of Lucretia's shame
Give him this orchid, and tell him the Roman harlot
Sent it, and tell him to ride straight to her
Tell him to come home
Go, go, go, go!
Go!
Oh, wait
Tell the messenger to take my love
Yes, give my love to the messenger
Give my love to the stable boy, and the coachman too
And hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
For all men love the chaste Lucretia
Shall I throw the rest away, madam?
No
I will arrange them
Here are the flowers
