Aux Langueurs D'apollon
Jean-Philippe Rameau
At Apollo's Languors
Let's form the most brilliant concerts
When Jupiter wears the chains
Of the incomparable Platée
I want the transports of her enchanted soul
To be expressed by my various songs
Admire all my famous art
Let's turn a funereal image
Into joy through my songs
At Apollo's languors, Daphne refused
Love on her tomb
Extinguished his torch
And metamorphosed her
That's how Love has always avenged
That Love is cruel when offended!
At Apollo's languors, Daphne refused
Love on her tomb
Extinguished his torch
And metamorphosed her
