Au fond du temple saint(original) |
Au fond du temple saint |
Pare de fleurs et d’or, |
Une femme apparait! |
Je crois la voir encore! |
Une femme apparait! |
Je crois la voir encore! |
La foule prosternee |
La regarde, etonnee, |
Et murmure tous bas: |
Voyez, c’est la deesse! |
Qui dans l’ombre se dresse |
Et vers nous tend les bras! |
Son voile se souleve! |
O vision! |
o reve! |
La foule est a genoux! |
Oui, c’est elle! |
C’est la deesse |
Plus charmante et plus belle! |
Oui, c’est elle! |
C’est la deesse |
Qui descend parmi nous! |
Son voile se souleve et la foule est a genoux! |
Mais a travers la foule |
Elle s’ouvre un passage! |
Son long voile deja |
Nous cache son visage! |
Mon regard, helas! |
La cherche en vain! |
Elle fuit! |
Elle fuit! |
Oui, c’est elle! |
C’est la deesse! |
En ce jour qui vient nous unir, |
Et fidele a ma promesse, |
Comme un frere je veux te cherir! |
C’est elle, c’est la deesse |
Qui vient en ce jour nous unir! |
Oui, partageons le meme sort, |
(translation) |
Into the holy temple |
Adorned with flowers and gold, |
A woman appears! |
I think I see her again! |
A woman appears! |
I think I see her again! |
The prostrate crowd |
Looks at her, astonished, |
And whispers softly: |
See, it's the goddess! |
Who in the shadows stands |
And reach out to us! |
Her veil is lifted! |
O vision! |
o dream! |
The crowd is on their knees! |
Yes it's her! |
She's the goddess |
More charming and more beautiful! |
Yes it's her! |
She's the goddess |
Who descends among us! |
Her veil is lifted and the crowd is on their knees! |
But through the crowd |
She opens a passage! |
Her long veil already |
Hides his face from us! |
My gaze, alas! |
Seek her in vain! |
She flees! |
She flees! |
Yes it's her! |
She's the goddess! |
On this day that comes to unite us, |
And true to my promise, |
As a brother I want to cherish you! |
It's her, it's the goddess |
Who comes this day to unite us! |
Yes, let's share the same fate, |
