Libretto

Nocturne
(Nocturne)


France

La Nuit, sur le grand mystère,
Entr'ouvre ses écrins bleus :
Autant de fleurs sur la terre,
Que d'étoiles dans les cieux !

On voit ses ombres dormantes
S'éclairer, à tous moments,
Autant par les fleurs charmantes
Que par les astres charmants.

Moi, ma Nuit au sombre voile
N'a, pour charme et pour clarté,
Qu'une fleur et qu'une étoile :
Mon amour et ta beauté !

United Kingdom

Night, over the great mystery,
Cracks open her blue jewellery boxes:
As many flowers on earth
As many stars in the skies!

We can see her dormant shadows
being brightened again and again
By the enchanting flowers
As well as by the enchanting stars.

Me, my darkly veiled Night
Has, for enchantment and brightness,
Only one flower and one star:
My love and your beauty![3]

Germany

Die Nacht, über das große Geheimnis,
Öffnet ihre blauen Schatullen einen Spalt:
So viele Blumen auf der Erde
Wie Sterne am Himmel!

Wir sehen, wie ihre schlafenden Schatten
Immer wieder erhellt werden,
Von den bezaubernden Blumen ebenso
Wie auch von den bezaubernden Sternen.

Ich, meine mit finsterem Schleier verhüllte Nacht
Hat, um Zauber und Helligkeit zu spenden,
Nur eine Blume und ein Stern:
Meine Liebe und deine Schönheit![3]
