You are purchasing high quality sheet music PDF files suitable for printing or viewing on digital devices.This poem by Victor Hugo, dated 1835, has also been set in music by Charles Gounod, Edouard Lalo, Charles-Marie Widor and me, Alain Jacques. Here D’Erlanger selected only the first two stanzas and dropping the third (Widor selected the 1st and 3rd; Alain Jacques retained the three of them). Translation of the 3 stanzas (AJ):
1. Dawn is breaking, and your door is closed, My darling why slumber? At the hour when the rose wakes up Are you not going to awaken?
Chorus: Oh my charming one Listen here To the lover who sings And also cries!
2. Everything knocks at your blessed door, Dawn says: "I am the day", The bird says: "I am harmony", And my heart says: "I am love!"
3. I adore you as an angel and love you as a woman. God, who by you, has completed me, Has made my love for your soul, And my eyes for your beauty!
