Tonight, great departure – voice & piano
duration: circa 1’40
I wrote the original poem in french many years ago, during adolescence!
Description
Tonight
Great departure
for the islands of Africa
At the start of other evenings,
women
thousands of women
cast off
Gaspard
Alone
on the quay
Arrived too late
at the departure of hope
Ce soir
Grand départ
pour les îles d’Afrique
Au départ d’autres soirs
des femmes
des milliers de femmes
larguent les amarres
Gaspard
Seul
sur le quai
Est arrivé en retard
Au départ de l’espoir
