text: Keats (from Ode to a Nightingale)
Darkling I listen; and, for many a time

Conductor : jad.harjane19@gmail.com
In the dark (die donker) I see a delicate flame, evoking memories of simpler days. love and fear merge as I seek solace from the approaching darkness.
Dans le noir (die donker) je vois une flamme délicate, évocation de souvenirs de jours heureux. L'amour et la peur se mêlent alors que je cherche le réconfort face à l'obscurité.
