Pierre Bernac Lyrics by Jake Heggie

0

Christmas 1936. Fa la la la la la la!
Playing a new setting of Cocteau for my friend Bernac
Je n’aime pas dormir quand ta figure habite
La nuit, contre mon cou;
Car je pense à la mort laquelle vient si vite
Nous endormir beaucoup
Not a word from Pierre
Just that worried look that begs: "Please, don’t ask me!"
So I take the song and toss it on the fire
As it bursts into flames, he gasps: "Ah! Ah!"
Don’t worry, I say, it’s as it’s meant to be
And I start again to compose: Tel jour. Telle nuit
Fa la la la la la la
