Pour vous - by Nathanaël Wsiaki

Les chansons des roses - Morten Lauridsen 
Lyrics: Reiner Maria Rilke
Conductor: Gary Graden
Piano: Mathias Spitzbarth

Recorded for documentation purposes by Mathias Spitzbarth the 30th of May 2013 in St Jacobs Church.
 
Lyrics in English:
1. In One Single Flower (En Une Seule Fleur)
it is rather we who did propose you fill up your chalice.
Enchanted with this contrivance, you ventured the deed.
You were rich enough to become a hundred times yourself in one single flower; 
such is the plight of one who loves -- nor did you think otherwise.

2. Against Whom, Rose (Contra Qui, Rose)
Against whom, rose, did you take on these thorns?
Was it your sheerest joy that forced you to become this armed thing?
But from whom does it protect you, this exaggerated weapon?
How many enemies have I removed from you who failed to fear it?
On the contrary, from summer through autumn,
it is you who wound the affections that they bestow upon you.

3. Drowsy in Dream (De Ton Reve Trop Plein)
Drowsy in dream, flowers aplenty within,
wet as a weeping woman, you stoop toward dawn.
Your soft strength, sleeping in vague desire, reveals the tender contour of cheek or breast.

4. The Perfect Rose (La Rose Complete)
I am so conscious of your being, perfect rose, that my mind makes no distinction between you and my heart in celebration.
I breath you in as if you were, rose, all of life itself, and I feel myself the perfect friend of such a friend.

5. So They Say (Dirait-on)
Unrestraint overwhelmed with unrestraint, fondness touching fondness... 
It's your inner-self that never ceases caressing itself, or so they say; 
caressing itself by its own nature, by its own sparkling reflection.
Thus do you forge the image of Narcissus praying, or so they say.
