Monodrame de chambre
sur des extraits du poème de Yannis Ritsos

Text:
Laisse-moi venir avec toi. Quelle lune ce soir !
La lune est bonne, – on ne verra pas
que mes cheveux ont blanchi. La lune
rendra à mes cheveux leur éclat doré. Tu ne comprendras pas.
Laisse-moi venir avec toi.

Quand la lune brille, les ombres grandissent dans la maison,
des mains invisibles écartent les rideaux,
un doigt livide trace sur la poussière du piano
des paroles oubliées – je ne veux pas les entendre. Tais-toi.
[…]
Je le sais, chacun de nous s’en va seul dans l’amour,
seul dans la gloire et dans la mort.
Je le sais. J’en ai fait l’expérience. Ça ne sert à rien.
Laisse-moi venir avec toi.

(Traduction de Gérard Pierrat)

La Sonate au clair de lune, for mezzo-soprano and string quartet - extract 1 (beginning - midi)

Monodrame de chambre
sur des extraits du poème de Yannis Ritsos

Text:
De fait, il n’est pas rare que je découvre au plus profond de cette asphyxie
des coraux, des perles, des trésors de navires naufragés,
trouvailles imprévues d’hier, d’aujourd’hui et de demain,
comme une confirmation d’éternité,
une reprise d’haleine ou ce qu’on appelle un certain sourire d’immortalité,
un bonheur, une ivresse, un enthousiasme même,
des coraux, des perles, des saphirs […]

[…] Laisse-moi venir avec toi.
[…]
Ah, tu t’en vas ? Bonne nuit. Non, je ne viendrai pas.
Bonne nuit.
Je ne vais pas tarder à sortir. Merci. Car enfin, il me faut
sortir de cette maison accablée.
Il me faut voir un peu de la cité, – non, pas la lune – 
la cité aux mains calleuses, la cité du salaire,
la cité qui prête serment au nom du pain et de son poing,
la cité qui nous porte tous sur son dos
avec nos mesquineries, nos vices, nos haines,
avec nos ambitions, notre ignorance et notre vieillesse, –
il me faut entendre les grands pas de la cité,
ne plus entendre tes pas
ni les pas de Dieu, ni même les miens. Bonne nuit.

(Traduction de Gérard Pierrat)

(Sung in ancient Greek)

Text:
CHORUS: O Eros, the conqueror in every fight,
Eros, who squanders all men’s wealth,
who sleeps at night on girls’ soft cheeks,
and roams across the ocean seas
and through the shepherd’s hut—
no immortal god escapes from you,
nor any man, who lives but for a day.
And the one whom you possess goes mad.

(English translation by Ian Johnston of Malaspina University-College, Nanaimo, BC, Canada)
