Les Amants Solitaires: 4 poems of Baron Fersen set to music the cd Capri, turn of the century. A French Baron, the Baron Fersen. His palace, the Villa Lysis. Opium interludes, lover’s despair, eroticism avant garde, poetry... One festive night in 1923, he raised to his lips a goblet of champagne laced with cocaine. His last breath drifted away on the breeze. A wave brought his azure melancholy back to me. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

solitary lovers sing to me softly, the languor of solitary lovers ... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
my heart is a bouquet ... my heart is a bouquet where the sun filters through ... my heart, so long silent beats up to the sky ... my heart is wide open, like a lily and I give myself to the fear of your tender kiss ... my heart feels so huge, holding love, and i adore your eyes, those velvet jewels ... my heart is of brush, made of far away songs ... my heart is a church open to all human souls ... my heart is a church where i hear music, the most beautiful verses, the most melanchly ... my heart is a reflection of the splendor of the stars, as i remember at the hour of disaster ... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
the kiss it was a murmur, a madness, the sound of lyres in the azure sky. it was a rain of delicate roses, almost tranparent in the night. it was a sunrise, a strange dawn, where angels walked with golden eyes. it was - floating - an intoxicating perfume, a union of caress and flowers. amidst wings, light scents amongst bright voices, a call! ah, softness, morning dew, songs and hope. love at its birth: your kiss!... it was a murmur, a madness, the sound of lyres in the azure sky poem: baron fersen music: nicole renaud | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
