Reynaldo Hahn: À Chloris

Reynaldo Hahn 是一位法國的作曲家、音樂評論家、指揮家、日記作家，以寫作藝術歌曲聞名，在台灣好像沒看過有人介紹，我也是今天才知道有這個一號人物的。Chloris 是 Reynaldo Hahn 仿巴洛克、文藝復興時期音樂而新創的歌曲，是一首情歌。

譯成英文的歌詞：

If it be true, Chloris, that thou lovst me,
And I understand that thou dost love me well,
I do not believe that even kings Could know such happiness as mine.
How unwelcome death would be,
If it came to exchange my fortune With the joy of heaven!
All that they say of ambrosia
Does not fire my imagination
Like the favour of thine eyes.
(Translation by Richard Stokes)
