NOTTE D’AUTUNNO e LES FEUILLES MORTES –NIGHT OF AUTUMN and LES FEUILLES MORTES – Hikmet.. Prevert and Yves Montand enhance the beauty of autumn in poetry and music
The first sublime poem we will discuss is of the great Turkish poet Hikmet He… recognizes the autumn… and in particular on the autumn night, more than the nights of other seasons, the ability to almost force us to look inside in the depths of our hearts.
NIGHT OF AUTUMN
Nazim Hikmet
On this autumn night
I’m full of your words
Words as eternal as time
as the subject
words as heavy as the hand
shimmering like the stars.
From your head to your flesh
from your heart
I got your words
your words full of you
your words, mother
your words, love
Your words, my friend.
They were sad, to love
They were cheerful, full of hope
were brave, heroic
your words
– They were men.
The second one, from which was also born the mythical song that we will then listen, it is aa great poetry by Prévert.
THE FALLING LEAVES
Oh, I wish you could remember too
the happy days of our love
How beautiful life was
And how the sun was more burning
Dead leaves fall into piles…
See: I have not forgotten
Dead leaves fall in piles
like memories, and regrets
and the north wind takes everything away
in the coldest night that forgets
See: I have not forgotten
the song that you sang
it’s a song that looks like us
You who loved me
and I loved you
And we and lived, the two of us,
You who loved me
me who loved you
But life separates those who love
piano piano floor
without any noise
and the sea erases on the sand
the steps of the lovers
Dead leaves fall in piles
and like them the memories, the regrets
But my faithful and silent love
He still smiles, he says thanks to life
I loved you so much, you were so beautiful
How could I forget
How beautiful life was
and how the sun was more burning
You were my sweetest friend.
But I have only regrets now
And the song you sang
I’ll hear it forever
it’s a song that looks like us
You who loved me
me who loved you
But life separates those who love
piano piano floor
without any noise
and the sea erases on the sand
the footsteps of the lovers divided.
