Vicino a Te

Jose Carreras Jose Carreras

Close to You

Chénier
Close to you my restless soul calms;
you are the goal of every desire,
every dream, every poem!
Within your gaze
I discern the iridescence
of infinite spaces.
I look at you; in this green flow
of your wide pupil, I wander with my soul!

Maddalena
I'm here not to leave you;
it's not a goodbye!
I come to die with you!
The suffering is over!
Death in loving you!
Ah! Whoever gathers the final word
from the lips, it's Him, Love!

Chénier
You are the goal of my existence!

Chénier, Maddalena
Ours is a love of souls!

Maddalena
Except for a mother.
Maddalena at dawn is named
for death Idia Legray.
Do you see? The uncertain light of twilight
already shines down the squalid alleys.
Embrace me! Kiss me! Lover!

Chénier
Pride of beauty!
Triumph you, of the soul!
Your love, sublime lover,
is sea, is sky, light of the sun
and stars...
...It's the world! It's the world!

Maddalena
Lover! Lover!

Chénier, Maddalena
Our death is the triumph of love!

Chénier
Ah, I bless, I bless fate!

Maddalena
In the hour of dying
we become eternal!

Chénier
Death!

Maddalena
Infinite!

Maddalena, Chénier
Love! Love!

Chénier, Maddalena
It's death!

Chénier
It comes with the sun!

Maddalena
It comes with the morning!

Chénier
Ah, it comes like the dawn!

Maddalena
With the sun that gilds it!

Chénier
It comes to us from the sky,
in a veil of roses and violets!

Maddalena, Chénier
Love! Love! Infinite!
Love! Love!

Schmidt
Andrea Chénier!

Chénier
It's me!

Schmidt
Idia Legray!

Maddalena
It's me!

Maddalena, Chénier
Long live death together!
