O Dieu! Que de Bijoux!
Liriel Domiciano
Oh God! What Jewels!
She opens the box and drops the bouquet
Oh God! What jewels! Is this a charming dream
That dazzles me, or am I awake?
My eyes have never seen such wealth!
She places the box on a chair and kneels to adorn herself
If only I dared
To adorn myself for a moment
With those earrings!
She pulls earrings from the box
Ah! Here it is just right
At the bottom of the box
A mirror! How
Can I not be vain?
No. 14 - Jewel Air
She adorns herself with the earrings
Stands up and looks at herself in the mirror
Ah! I laugh to see myself
So beautiful in this mirror!
Is that you, Marguerite?
Answer me, answer quickly!
No! No! - it's not you anymore!
No! No! - it's not your face anymore!
It's the daughter of a king
Who is greeted as she passes!
Ah, if he were here!
If he saw me like this!
Like a young lady
He would find me beautiful
She adorns herself with the necklace
Let's finish the transformation!
I can't wait to try on
The bracelet and the necklace!
She adorns herself with the bracelet and stands up
God! It's like a hand resting on my arm!
Ah! I laugh to see myself
So beautiful in this mirror!
Is that you, Marguerite?
Answer me, answer quickly!
Ah, if he were here!
If he saw me like this!
Like a young lady
He would find me beautiful
Marguerite, it's not you anymore
It's not your face anymore
No! It's the daughter of a king
Who is greeted as she passes.
