De Mon Amie, Fleur Endormie... Léila! Léila! Dieu Puissant... Ton Coeur N'A Pas Compris Le Mien!

Joseph Calleja Joseph Calleja

My Friend, Sleeping Flower... Léila! Léila! Mighty God... Your Heart Didn't Understand Mine!

[Nadir]
From my friend
Sleeping flower
At the bottom of the silent lake
I saw in the waves
Clear and deep
Sparkling with joyful light
And those sweet eyes!
My beloved is trapped

[Léïla]
God!

[Nadir]
...In a palace of gold and blue

[Léïla]
The voice is getting closer!

[Nadir]
…I hear her laughing
And I see shining

[Léïla]
A sweet charm pulls me in!

[Nadir]
...On the crystal of the dark abyss

[Léïla]
Heaven!

[Nadir]
...Her pure gaze!

[Léïla]
Ah! It's him!

[Nadir]
Léila:! Léila:!

[Léïla]
Mighty God, there he is!

[Nadir]
Near her, here I am!

[Léïla]
By this narrow path
That borders a dark chasm
How did you get here?

[Nadir]
A God guided my steps
A tender hope drives me!
Nothing, nothing held me back!

[Léïla]
What are you doing here?
Run, death is threatening you!

[Nadir]
Calm your fear, forgive me!

[Léïla]
I swore!
I must not see you!

[Nadir]
Ah! Have mercy on me

[Léïla]
Death is on your heels!

[Nadir]
Don't push me away!

[Léïla]
Ah! Go away!

[Nadir]
Ah! The day is still far off
No one can catch us
Ah! Léïla:, smile at my hope!

[Léïla]
No, let’s part ways!

[Nadir]
Ah! Why push away

[Léïla]
There’s still time

[Nadir]
...A friend who implores you!

[Léïla]
...Ah! Go away!

[Nadir]
Léïla:! Léila:!

[Léïla]
Ah! Death is on your heels
Ah! Please, stay away!

[Nadir]
Alas!
Your heart didn't understand mine!
In the heart of the fragrant night
When I listened to the charmed soul
The sounds of your beloved voice
Your heart didn't understand mine!

[Léïla]
Just like you, I remember!
In the heart of the fragrant night
My soul then free and charmed
Was not closed to love!
Just like you, I remember!

[Nadir]
I had promised to avoid your presence
And to be silent forever
But of love, alas! Oh fatal power!
Could I flee the beautiful eyes I loved?

[Léïla]
Despite the night, despite your long silence
My charmed heart had read in your heart!
I was waiting for you, I hoped for your presence!
Your sweet voice brought me happiness!

[Nadir]
Is it true? What do you say?
Sweet confession, oh happiness!
Yes! Your heart didn't understand mine!
In the heart of the fragrant night, etc

[Léïla]
Ah! Just like you, I remember! etc

[Ensemble]
Oh sweet moment!
