Samson and Delilah, Op. 47, Act I: "Printemps qui commence"(original) |
Printemps qui commence, |
Portant l’espérance |
Aux cœurs amoureux, |
Ton souffle qui passe |
De la terre efface |
Les jours malheureux. |
Tout brûle en notre âme, |
Et ta douce flamme |
Vient sécher nos pleurs; |
Tu rends à la terre, |
Par un doux mistère, |
Les fruits et les fleurs. |
En vain je suis belle! |
Mon cœur plein d’amour, |
Pleurant l’infidèle, |
Attend son retour! |
Vivant d’espérance, |
Mon cœur désolé |
Garde souvenance |
Du bonheur passé. |
À la nuit tombante |
J’irai triste amante, |
M’asseoir au torrent, |
L’attendre en pleurant! |
Chassant ma tristesse, |
S’il revient un jour, |
À lui ma tendresse |
Et la douce ivresse |
Qu’un brûlant amour |
Garde à son retour! |
(translation) |
spring beginning, |
carrying hope |
To loving hearts, |
Your passing breath |
From the earth erases |
Unhappy days. |
Everything burns in our soul, |
And your sweet flame |
Come and dry our tears; |
You give back to the earth, |
By sweet mystery, |
Fruits and flowers. |
In vain I am beautiful! |
My heart full of love, |
Mourning the infidel, |
Wait for his return! |
living in hope, |
My sorry heart |
keeps memory |
Of past happiness. |
At dusk |
I will go sad lover, |
Sit in the torrent, |
Waiting for him crying! |
Chasing away my sadness, |
If he ever returns, |
To him my tenderness |
And the sweet intoxication |
than a burning love |
Guard on his return! |
