Celle Qui Vient Est Plus Belle
Jules Massenet
The One Who Comes Is More Beautiful
The one who comes is more beautiful
Than the queen of Sheba dancing on mirrors!
Ah!
And from the shadow of her veils
Come the notes of her voice
Like arrows of fire!
Ah!
She has the complexion of pale amber
She comes like a breath of air!
Like an unyielding idol
She moves!
Ah!
She draws you in, she caresses
Her gazes throw out chains
Her beautiful languid looks
That make men captive
Ah!
Without knowing her power
She draws you in
She caresses
She has a deadly charm!
Ah!
