Aubade

晨歌

An aubade – from the old French “alba,” meaning dawn – is an early-morning song whose usual motif is an urgent request to a beloved to wakeup. A familiar example is Shakespeare’s “Hark, Hark, the Lark at Heaven’s gate sings.”

晨歌源自古法语alba（意思是拂晓），是一种清晨歌曲，其通常的题旨是殷切地呼唤爱人醒来，大家熟悉的一个例子是莎士比亚的《听！听！云雀在天堂之门歌唱》。
