English translation ©
Peter Asimov
The longest and most elaborate song, it begins with musical wordplay, assigning characters to syllables of solfège (ré, mi, fa, sol, etc.). Then, the singer effuses on the words sky (‘ciel’) and circle (‘cercle’), addressing her love and recalling some of the thematic motifs from earlier in the cycle.
