The Flower Duet
Leo Delibes
The Flower Duet
Under the thick dome
Where the white jasmine
With the rose entwined
On the river bank covered with flowers
Laughing in the morning
Come, let us drift down together
Gently floating on its charming surface
Let's follow the fleeing current
In the trembling waves
With a lazy hand
Come, let's reach the shore
Where the spring sleeps and
The bird, the bird sings
Under the thick dome
Where the white jasmine
Ah! Let's descend
Together!
Under the thick dome
Where the white jasmine
With the rose entwined
On the river bank covered with flowers
Laughing in the morning
Come, let us drift down together
Gently floating on its charming surface
Let's follow the fleeing current
In the trembling waves
With a lazy hand
Come, let's reach the shore
Where the spring sleeps and
The bird, the bird sings
Under the thick dome
Where the white jasmine
Ah! Let's descend
Together!
