À L'ombre Du Coeur De Ma Mie
Georges Bizet
In the Shadow of My Sweetheart's Heart
In the shadow of my sweetheart's heart
A bird had fallen asleep
One day when she pretended
To be the Sleeping Beauty
And me, getting down on my knees
Good fairies, save us
On this heart I wanted to place
A kind of kiss
So this bird of misfortune
Started to scream 'Thief'
'Thief' and 'Murderer'
As if I wanted to harm her bosom
At the calls of this starling
Great commotion in Landerneau
Everyone and their father rushes
Immediately to help her
So many rumors, rumblings
Scared off the enchantments
And the disillusioned beauty
Closed her heart to my kiss
And since that time, my sister
I have become a hunter
With my crossbow in hand
I run through the woods and paths
