Lamour première by Pierre Sandrin — Lyrics
About Lamour première
Pierre Sandrin's Lamour première is a secular chanson for four voices (ATTB). The text, in French, describes the bittersweet pangs of first love. The singer recalls an innocent first love, where the presence of their beloved brought contentment. However, this joy was fleeting, leading to a profound sense of loss and longing. The composer captures the emotional turmoil of this early romance, where the hope of happiness is tinged with the pain of a love unfulfilled and the melancholy of a long, unsatisfied wait.
