"I want to live," soprano aria from Gounod's Romeo and Juliet (Romeo and Juliet). Before falling in love, Juliet Rejoice in Her youth and innocence.
| Ah! I want to live | Ah! I want to live |
| In the dream | drunk in the dream Which intoxicate me |
| that day again! | stills for this one day! |
| Sweet flame | Sweet Flame, |
| Je te garde dans mon âme | I keep you in my soul |
| Comme un trésor! | like a treasure! |
| Cette ivresse | This intoxication |
| De jeunesse | of youth, |
| Ne dure hélas! qu'un jour, | alas, only lasts a day, |
| Puis vient l'heure | then comes the hour |
| Où l'on pleure, | when one weeps, |
| Le coeur cède à love, the Heart | yield to love, |
| And happiness fled forever! | Flees and happiness, never to return! |
| Ah! I want to live | Ah! I want to live |
| In this dream that intoxicates | in this dream Which intoxicate me |
| long while yet! | for a long time "still! |
| Sweet flame | Sweet Flame, |
| I keep you in my soul I keep | you in my soul |
| Like a treasure! | Like a treasure! |
| Far from the gloomy winter, | Far from the sullen winter, |
| Let me sleep, let me sleep | , |
| And breathe pink | and breathe in the rose's scent |
| Before the pluck. Before | icts scattering petals. |
| Ah! Gentle flame | Ah Sweet Flame, |
| remains in my soul | stay in my soul |
| Like a sweet treasure | like a sweet treasure |
| Longtemps Encore! | for a long time still! |
| Ah! Comme un trésor | Ah! Like a treasure |
| Longtemps Encore! | for a long time still! |
