Last Night in Orient

Ce beau projet musical / culturel réalise des arrangements contemporains de musique péruvienne et latino-américaine, l'une des premières chansons populaires préservées date du 18ème siècle. Le répertoire du codex est pour la première fois travaillé dans un format de musique populaire avec une instrumentation classique et traditionnelle. Et cet arrangement a été inspiré par la version que Susana Baca a interprétée sur le même thème sur ses albums de 2017.

The whitest glow left blind, feeling safe though in its hold
Your touch sends shivers to my soul, baptism of a different order
When I see her beauty I do feel, and it's the first time
And without knowing I know, this world will never be the same
I see pictures in albums I've not lived, yet I know that I took everyone
Her skin feels like I touch my own, and it feels like forever
Oh in her eyes I feel, beauty never known or imagined
I've shown everything I am in just this single moment
To the glory to the pain, and for a love I try to explain
For the moments ever rare, gone in a flash let them live here
Hold this day let it live, you may write about it one day
As the years stack up beside the fear, holding signs that say I wish I'd, if I'd
Brought my hand to her cheek one more time, or listened closer to I love you
And maybe not let what I don't understand keep me guarded or running scared
To the glory to the pain, and for a love I try to explain
For the moments ever rare, gone in a flash let them live here
The silence breaking still, either with or without warning
I ride the river i mind the tide,
mostly now in silence though I
Walked with you in dream again last night, I woke, and you were still there
I need you to stay in these pages for a while, I need to be on my way
To the glory to the pain and for a love I try to explain
For the moments ever rare, gone in a flash let them live here
