BEAU SOIR by Claude Debussy song lyrics 
by Joel Sattler

Based on a translation of the poem by Paul Bourget

When the sun falls in the red
and the rivers are roses 
and the wind from the north 
will shiver fields of grain

Time is short while yet we can 
still pretend we can be happy 
climbing up the mount of trouble in heart

try to take in all of the wonder 
while we still can be one with beauty 
while we still have courage and are still young

This is how we can be brave 
like the stream that is flowing 
she to the sea 
we to the grave
