M: Come, let us drift down together. L: Ah! Let’s glide along M: Let us gently glide along; For its enchanting flow L: The fleeing current; M: Let us follow the fleeing current; L: On the rippling surface, M: On the rippling surface, L: With a nonchalant hand, M: With a nonchalant hand, L: Let’s go to the shore, M: Come, let’s go to the shore L: Where the bird sings, M: Where the spring sleeps. L: the bird, the bird sings. M: And the bird, the bird sings. L: Thick dome, white jasmine, M: Under the dense canopy, Under the white jasmine, L: Call us together! M: Ah! Let’s drift down together! ___ Soprano: Sabine Devieilhe Mezzo-Soprano: Marianne Crebassa
