C'est Toi Mon Pére

[Thaïs]
You're my father! Do you remember the bright journey, when you brought me here?

[Athanaël]
I only remember your mortal beauty!

[Thaïs]
Do you remember those calm hours in the coolness of the oasis?

[Athanaël]
Ah! I only remember that unquenchable thirst that you will soothe

[Thaïs]
Do you especially remember your holy words on the day when I knew love only through you?

[Athanaël]
When I spoke, I lied to you!

[Thaïs]
And here comes the dawn!

[Athanaël]
I lied to you!

[Thaïs]
And here are the roses of eternal morning!

[Athanaël]
No! The sky... Nothing exists... Nothing is true except life and the love of beings... I love you!
Thaïs
The sky opens! Here come the angels and the prophets... And the saints! They come with a smile, hands full of flowers!

[Athanaël]
Listen to me... My beloved

[Thaïs]
Two seraphim with white wings glide in the azure, and, as you said, the sweet comforter placing his fingers of light on my eyes, ah! Wipes away the tears? Never!

[Athanaël]
Come! You belong to me! Oh my Thaïs! I love you! I love you, I love you! Come! Thaïs, ah! Come! Tell me: I will live! I will live!

[Thaïs]
The sound of golden harps enchants me! Sweet perfumes penetrate me! I feel an exquisite bliss, ah! Ah! A bliss to soothe all my pains!

[Athanaël]
Oh my Thaïs, you belong to me! Thaïs! Thaïs! I love you! Come! Thaïs, ah! Come! Come!

[Thaïs]
Ah! The sky! I see... God!

[Athanaël]
Dead! Mercy!
