"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! |
