Massenet: Manon / Act 3 - "Je suis seul!...Ah! fuyez, douce image"(original) |
Je suis seul! |
Seul enfin! |
C’est le moment suprême! |
Il n’est plus rien que j’aime |
Que le repos sacré que m’apporte la foi! |
Oui, j’ai voulu mettre |
Dieu même |
Entre le monde et moi! |
Ah! |
fuyez, douce image, à mon âme trop chère; |
Respectez un repos cruellement gagné, |
Et songez, si j’ai bu dans une coupe amère, |
Que mon coeur l’emplirait de ce qu’il a saigné! |
Ah! |
fuyez! |
fuyez! |
loin de moi! |
Ah! |
fuyez! |
Que m’importe la vie et ce semblant de gloire? |
Je ne veux que chasser du fond de ma mémoire… |
Un nom maudit! |
ce nom… qui m’obsède et pourquoi? |
J’y vais! |
Mon Dieu! |
De votre flamme |
Purifiez mon âme… |
Et dissipez à sa lueur |
L’ombre qui passe encor dans le fond de mon coeur! |
Ah! |
fuyez, douce image, à mon âme trop chère! |
Ah! |
fuyez! |
fuyez! |
loin de moi! |
Ah! |
fuyez! |
loin de moi! |
loin de moi! |
(translation) |
I am alone! |
Alone at last! |
This is the supreme moment! |
There's nothing I love anymore |
May the sacred rest that faith brings me! |
Yes, I wanted to put |
God himself |
Between the world and me! |
Ah! |
flee, sweet image, to my too dear soul; |
Respect a hard-earned rest, |
And think, if I drank from a bitter cup, |
How my heart would fill it with what it bled! |
Ah! |
run away! |
run away! |
far from me! |
Ah! |
run away! |
What do I care about life and this semblance of glory? |
I just want to hunt from the bottom of my memory... |
A cursed name! |
this name... who obsesses me and why? |
I go! |
My God! |
Of your flame |
Purify my soul... |
And dissipate in its glow |
The shadow that still passes in the bottom of my heart! |
Ah! |
flee, sweet image, to my too dear soul! |
Ah! |
run away! |
run away! |
far from me! |
Ah! |
run away! |
far from me! |
far from me! |
