about

Imant Raminsh (Vernon, B.C. / C.-B.)
In the Night We Shall Go In, 1987
Text / Texte : Pablo Neruda, La rama robada (The Stolen Branch / La branche volée)
For mixed choir, piano, and bass clarinet (originally cello). Published by Alliance Music. “In the Night We Shall Go In” is a wonderful example of Raminsh’s lush harmonic language combined with a particular sensitivity to this sensuous poetry. Each voice part matches a particular colour, with the richness of the alto section employed to best effect. 

Pour chœur mixte, piano et clarinette basse (violoncelle, à l’origine). Publié par Alliance Music. Il s’agit d’un merveilleux exemple du langage harmonique luxuriant d’Imant Raminsh, associé à une sensibilité particulière à cette poésie sensuelle. Chaque partie de voix correspond à une couleur particulière, la richesse de la section alto étant exploitée au mieux.

lyrics

In the night we shall go in
to steal a flowering branch.
We shall climb over the wall,
in the darkness of the alien garden,
two shadows in the shadow.

Winter is not yet gone,
and the apple tree appears suddenly changed
into a cascade of fragrant stars.

In the night we shall go in
up to its trembling firmament,
and your little hands and mine
will steal the stars.

Silently to our house
in the night and the shadow,
perfume’s silent step,
and with starry feet
the clear body of spring.

– English translation by Donald D. Walsh

Dans la nuit, nous allons voler une branche en fleurs.
Nous allons grimper sur le mur,
dans l’obscurité du jardin étranger,
deux ombres dans l’ombre.

L’hiver n’est pas encore parti,
et le pommier apparaît soudainement changé
dans une cascade d’étoiles parfumées.

Dans la nuit nous irons dans son firmament tremblant,
et tes petites mains et les miennes
vont voler les étoiles.

Silencieusement à notre maison
dans la nuit et l’ombre,
pas silencieux du parfum,
et avec les pieds étoilés
le corps clair du printemps.

– Traduit en français par une source inconnue
