English Singing Translation of:

Gabriel Fauré: Nocturne, Opus 43, No. 2 (SMB #136)

(Night song; text by Adam)

The night grand with mystery gives a glimpse of her jewels blue: as many stars fill the sky as do flowers fill all the earth! We see her shadows so dormant all at once illuminate, just as all the flowers charm the meadows, so do all the bright stars charm the night. Oh, this night dressed in a vale dark, finds a charm and guiding light through a flower and tiny star. My amour and your allure!

(Approx. performance timing: 4:36)
