My notes: Leontyne Price's version of "Oh, Quand Je Dors. Also check out Wendy Waller version of the same song below. I have also downloaded the translation of the song for anyone who does not speak French./
Oh, when I sleep, approach my bed,
as Laura appeared to Petrach;
and as you pass, touch me with your breath...
at once my lips
will part!
On my glum face, where perhaps
a dark dream has rested for too long a time,
let your gaze lift it like a star...
at once my dream
will be radiant!
Then on my lips, where there flits a brilliance,
a flash of love that God has kept pure,
place a kiss, and transform from angel into woman...
at once my soul
will awaken!
Leontyne Price "Oh, quand je dors" by Liszt Salzburg 1984
