Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.1060145). My performance of my setting for alto and guitar of Prévert's poem Pour faire le portrait d'un oiseau [My English version can be seen below] Peindre d’abord une cage avec une porte ouverte peindre ensuite quelque chose de joli quelque chose de simple quelque chose de beau quelque chose d’utile pour l’oiseau placer ensuite la toile contre un arbre dans un jardin dans un bois ou dans une forêt se cacher derrière l’arbre sans rien dire sans bouger … Parfois l’oiseau arrive vite mais il peut aussi bien mettre de longues années avant de se décider Ne pas se décourager attendre attendre s’il le faut pendant des années la vitesse ou la lenteur de l’arrivée de l’oiseau n’ayant aucun rapport avec la réussite du tableau Quand l’oiseau arrive s’il arrive observer le plus profond silence attendre que l’oiseau entre dans la cage et quand il est entré fermer doucement la porte avec le pinceau puis effacer un à un tous les barreaux en ayant soin de ne toucher aucune des plumes de l’oiseau Faire ensuite le portrait de l’arbre en choisissant la plus belle de ses branches pour l’oiseau peindre aussi le vert feuillage et la fraîcheur du vent la poussière du soleil et le bruit des bêtes de l’herbe dans la chaleur de l’été et puis attendre que l’oiseau se décide à chanter Si l’oiseau ne chante pas c’est mauvais signe signe que le tableau est mauvais mais s’il chante c’est bon signe signe que vous pouvez signer Alors vous arrachez tout doucement une des plumes de l’oiseau et vous écrivez votre nom dans un coin du tableau.

When the bird comes over if he does come please observe the deepest quiet you can and wait until the bird goes inside the cage and when he's gone inside with your paintbrush you gently close the door. Then, erasing one by one the cage's bars you're careful not to touch a single feather, no feather of the bird Then you paint a portrait of the tree and choose the most pretty of its branches for the bird also paint the leafy green and the fresh zephyr wind and the dust of the great sun and noises of grassland creatures in the heat of summmer sun Then you must wait for the bird to decide it will sing should the bird refuse to sing, that sign is bad tells you that your picture will not do but if he sings that's a good sign sign that you may sign your picture Now pull very gently so gently pull one of the feathers from the bird and with i.
