about

"Beau soir" (French for "Beautiful Evening") is a French art song written by Claude Debussy. It is a setting of a poem by Paul Bourget.

lyrics

Lorsque au soleil couchant les rivières sont roses,
Et qu'un tiède frisson court sur les champs de blé,

Un conseil d'être heureux semble sortir des choses
Et monter vers le coeur troublé.

Un conseil de goûter le charme d'être au monde
Cependant qu'on est jeune et que le soir est beau

Car nous nous en allons,
Comme s'en va cette onde:
Elle à la mer,
Nous au tombeau

English Poetic Translation:

When streams turn pink in the setting sun
And a slight shudder rushes through the wheat fields,

A plea for happiness seems to rise out of all things
And it climbs up towards the troubled heart.

A plea to relish the charm of life
While there is youth and the evening is fair,

For we pass away, as the wave passes:
The wave to the sea, we to the grave
