(1947) gian carlo menotti |
|
The sun is falling and it lies in blood |
|
The moon is weaving bandages of gold |
|
Old black swan where oh where is my lover now |
|
Where oh where is my lover now |
|
Torn and tattered is my bridal gown and my lamp is lost |
|
With silver needles and with silver threads |
|
The stars stitch a route for the dying sun |
|
Old black swan where oh where is my lover now |
|
I had given him a kiss and a golden ring |
|
And a golden ring |
|
I had given him a kiss of fire and a golden ring |
|
Oh with silver needles and with silver threads |
|
The stars stitch a route for the dying sun |
|
Black wing o black wing take me down with you |
|
Take me down with you take me down with you |
|
Take me down with you |
|
Old black swan take me down with you |
|
I had given him a kiss of fire |
|
Take me down with you |
