Pearl Fishers - Au Fond Du Temple Saint

[Nadir]
At the back of the holy temple
Adorned with flowers and gold
A woman appears!
I believe I still see her!

[Zurga]
A woman appears!
I believe I still see her!

[Nadir]
The prostrated crowd
Watches her, enchanted
And murmurs softly:
Look, it's the goddess!
Who stands in the shadow
And reaches out to us!

[Zurga]
Her veil lifts!
Oh vision! Oh dream!
The crowd is on its knees!

[Nadir/Zurga]
Yes, it's her!
It's the most charming and beautiful goddess!
Yes, it's her!
It's the goddess descending among us!
Her veil lifts and the crowd is on its knees!

[Nadir]
But through the crowd
She makes her way!

[Zurga]
Her long veil already
Hides her face from us!

[Nadir]
My gaze, alas!
Seeks her in vain!

[Nadir/Zurga]
Yes, it's her! It's the goddess!
On this day that will unite us,
And faithful to my promise,
Like a brother, I want to cherish you!
It's her, it's the goddess
Who comes to unite us on this day!
Yes, let's share the same fate,
Let's be united until death!
