3 Songs, Op. 8: No. 2, La rançon song lyrics by Isobel Buchanan official

3 Songs, Op. 8: No. 2, La rançon is a song in French

L'homme a, pour payer sa rançon
Deux champs au tuf profound et riche
Qu'il faut qu'il remue et défriche
Avec le fer de la raison

Pour obtenir la moindre rose
Pour extorquer quelques épis
Des pleurs salés de son front gris
Sans cesse il faut qu'il les arrose

L'un est l'Art, et l'autre l'Amour
Pour rendre le juge propice
Lorsque de la stricte justice
Paraîtra le terrible jour

Il faudra lui montrer des granges
Pleines de moissons, et des fleurs
Dont les formes et les couleurs
Gagnent le suffrage des Anges

Man, that his ransom may be paid
Has two fields of soil, rich and deep
Which he must till and rake
With the blade of reason

To grow the merest rose
To reap but meagre ears of corn
He must water them night and morn
With salt tears from his ashen brow

One field is Art, the other Love
To propitiate the judge
When the terrible day
Of strict justice dawns

He will have to show him barns abrim
With harvested crops and flowers
Whose forms and colours gain
The approval of the seraphim
