What power art thou
Piano et Chant (Basse ou contre-ténor)
Henry Purcell
Air du Génie du froid extrait de l'opéra ''King Arthur''. Acte III. Réveillé par Cupidon, le Génie supplie l’importun de le laisser mourir de froid.
Texte :
What power art thou,
Who from below,
Hast made me rise,
Unwillingly and slow,
From beds of everlasting snow !
See'st thou not how stiff,
And wondrous old,
Far unfit to bear the bitter cold.
I can scarcely move,
Or draw my breath,
I can scarcely move,
Or draw my breath.
Let me, let me, Freeze again...
Let me, let me, Freeze again to death !
