The Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71A - Valse Des Fleurs (original)

Sous le dome epais
ou le blanc jasmin
A la rose s’assemble,
Sur la rive en fleurs,
riant au matin,
Viens, descendons ensemble.
Doucement glissons;
De son flot charmant
Suivons le courant
fuyant;
Dans
l’onde fremissante.
D’une main nonchalante,
Viens, gagnons le bord
Ou la souree dort.
Et l’oiseau,
l’oiseau chante.
Sous le dome epais,
Sous le blanc jasmin,
Ah!
descendons ensemble!

(translation)

Under a dome
or white jasmine
To the rose gathers,
On the blooming shore,
laughing in the morning,
Come, let's go down together.
Gently slide;
Of its charming flow
Let's go with the flow
fleeing;
In
the quivering wave.
With a careless hand,
Come on, let's get to the edge
Where the mouse sleeps.
And the bird,
the Bird is singing.
Under a dome,
Beneath the white jasmine,
Ah!
let's go down together!
