Belle nuit, ô nuit d'amour,
Souris à nos ivresses!
Nuit plus douce que le jour!
Ô belle nuit d'amour!
Le temps fuit et sans retour
Emporte nos tendresses;
Loin de cet heureux séjour
Le temps fuit sans retour!
Zéphyrs embrasés.
Versez-nous vos caresses!
Zéphyrs embrasés.
Donnez-nous vos baisers!
Belle nuit, ô nuit d'amour,
Souris à nos ivresses!
Nuit plus douce que le jour!
Ô belle nuit d'amour!
English translation:
Beauteous night, O night of love,
Smile thou on our enchantment;
Radiant night, with stars above,
O beauteous night of love!
Fleeting time doth ne'er return,
But bears on wings our dreaming,
Far away where we may yearn,
For time doth ne'er return.
Sweet zephyrs aglow,
Shed on us thy caresses,
Sweet zephyrs aglow,
Thy soft bisses bestow.
Ah! Beauteous night, O night of love,
Smile thou on our enchantment,
Radiant night with stars above,
O beauteous night of love!

So sweet, thank you!
Thank you so much!
Operas are not so much my taste of music. At least this one is tonal and that is good.
Wolfram Hüttermann I understand! I didn't like opera at all growing up, but mostly because I wasn't exposed. As soon as I was in one, I was hooked! Glad you enjoyed it.
Wonderful-a composer who writes lovely melodies and understands the voice. And you are wonderful, too!
Frank Feldman Thank you! He is such a great composer and human being... definitely one of my favorite people with whom I've worked for sure.
natural! and brilliant.
