Au Mont Ida (Le Jugement De Pâris)
Joseph Calleja
On Mount Ida (The Judgment of Paris)
On Mount Ida, three Goddesses
were quarreling in a wood
Which one, said these Princesses
is the most beautiful of us three?
Evohe, how these Goddesses
to charm the boys
evohe, how these Goddesses
have funny ways
In this wood passes a young man
a young man Irais and handsome (It's me!)
His hand held an apple
you see the picture well
Ah, hey, eh! The handsome young man
handsome young man stop
and please give the apple
to the most beautiful of us
Evohe, how these Goddesses
to charm the boys
evohe, how these Goddesses
have funny ways
One said: I have my reserve
my modesty, my chastity
give the prize to Minerva
Minerva deserves it
Evohe, how these Goddesses
have funny ways
The other said: I have my birth
my pride and my peacock
I must win, I think
give the apple to Juno
Evohe, how these Goddesses
have funny ways
to charm the boys
The third one, ah, the third one!
The third one said nothing
She got the prize all the same
Calchas, do you hear me well!
Evohe, how these Goddesses
to charm the boys
evohe, how these Goddesses
have funny ways
