Evening Harmony lyrics
by Charles Baudelaire
Now is the time when, throbbing on its stem,
Each flower sheds its perfume like incense
Sounds and scents spiral in the evening air
In a melancholy waltz, a slow sensual drag
Each flower sheds its perfume like incense;
The violin trembles like a wounded heart,
In a melancholy waltz, a slow, sensual turning
The sky is sad and beautiful, like a vast altar
The violin trembles like a wounded heart,
A tender heart that hates the huge black void
The sky is sad and beautiful like a vast altar
The sun has drowned in its congealing blood
A tender heart that hates the huge, black void
Is gathering from the luminous past what dreams remain
The sun has drowned in its congealing blood,
And like a glowing marvel, your memory shines in me
