Les pêcheurs de perles, Act 2: Me voilà seule dans la nuit... Comme autrefois
Here I am, alone in the night.
Alone in this lonely desert where silence reigns!
I shudder, I'm scared, and sleep flees me.
But he is here, my heart can feel his presence!
As before, in the dark night,
Hidden under thick foliage,
He watches over me in the shadow,
I can sleep, dream in peace.
He watches over me,
As before, as before.
It's him! My eyes recognized him!
It's him! My soul is reassured!
Oh, happiness! Unexpected joy.
He came to see me again!
Oh, happiness, he came!
He is there near me! Ah!
As before, in the dark night,
Hidden under thick foliage,
He watches over me in the shadow,
I can sleep, dream in peace!
He watches over me,
As before, as before.
I can sleep, I can dream in peace.
He watches over me.
Yes, like before I can dream in peace!
