Open your blue eyes
Jules Massenet
He
Open your blue eyes, my darling:
The day has come!
Already the warbling bird sings
A song of love.
The dawn brings forth the rose:
Come with me
To pick the blossoming daisy.
Awake! Awake!
Open your blue eyes, my darling:
The day has come!
She
What good is it to contemplate the earth
And its beauty?
Love is more a sweet mystery
Than a summer day;
It is in myself that the bird is singing
His triumphant song,
And the great, burning sun
Is in my heart!
