Aria

Sous le dome epais
Ou le blanc jasmin
A la rose sOãssemble
Sur la rive en fleurs
Riant au matin
Viens, descendons ensemble.

Doucement glissons
De son flot charmant
Suivons le courant
Fuyant; Dans
LÕonde fremissante.

DÕune main nonchalante
Viens, gagnons le bord
Ou la souree dort
Et lÕoiseau
LÕoiseau chante.

Sous le dome epais
Sous le blanc jasmin
Ah! descendons ensemble!

================================

Under a dome of white jasmine
With the roses entwined together
On a river bank covered with flowers laughing in the morning
Gently floating on it's charming risings
On the river's current
On the shining waves
One hand reaches
Reaches for the bank
Where the spring sleeps and
The birds, the birds sing
Under a dome of white jasmine
Ah! calling us
Together!
Under a dome of white jasmine
With the roses entwined together
On a river bank covered with flowers laughing in the morning
Let us descend together
Gently floating on it's charming risings
On the river's current
On the shining waves
One hand reaches
Reaches for the bank
Where the spring sleeps
And the birds, the birds sing
Under a dome of white jasmine
Ah! calling us
Together!
