    Adieux de l'hôtesse arabe
    Text by Victor Hugo
    Translated by Lisette Oropesa
    FRENCH:
    Adieu de l’hôtesse arabe
    Text by Victor Hugo
    Puisque rien ne t'arrête en cet heureux pays,
    Ni l'ombre du palmier, ni le jaune maïs,
    Ni le repos, ni l'abondance,
    Ni de voir à ta voix battre le jeune sein
    De nos sœurs, dont, les soirs, le tournoyant essaim
    Couronne un coteau de sa danse,
    Adieu! Beau voyageur, hélas, adieu.
    Oh ! que n'es-tu de ceux
    Qui donnent pour limite à leurs pieds paresseux
    Leur toit de branches ou de toiles !
    Qui, rêveurs, sans en faire, écoutent les récits,
    Et souhaitent, le soir, devant leur porte assis,
    de s'en aller dans les étoiles !
    Hélas, adieu! Adieu beau voyageur.
    Si tu l'avais voulu, peut-être une de nous,
    O jeune homme, eût aimé te servir à genoux
    Dans nos huttes toujours ouvertes ;
    Elle eût fait, en berçant ton sommeil de ses chants,
    Pour chasser de ton front les moucherons méchants,
    Un éventail de feuilles vertes.
    Si tu ne reviens pas, songe un peu quelquefois
    Aux filles du désert, sœurs à la douce voix,
    Qui dansent pieds nus sur la dune ;
    O beau jeune homme blanc, bel oiseau passager,
    Souviens-toi, car peut-être, ô rapide étranger,
    Ton souvenir reste à plus d'une !
    Hélas, adieu! Adieu! Bel étranger, hélas, adieu. Souviens-toi...
    ENGLISH:
    Farewell from the Arabic Hostess
    Translation by Lisette Oropesa
    Since nothing can make you stay in this happy country,
    Not the shade of the palm trees, not the yellow corn,
    nor the repose or the abundance,
    Not even to see how your voice touches the young hearts
    of our sisters, who in the evenings, in a twirling frenzy,
    crown a hillside with their dance;
    Farewell, fair traveler! Alas! Goodbye!
    Oh, may you not be one of those
    who holds himself back with his lazyness,
    or with his enclosed roof of branches or canvas!
    Those who dream but don’t act, who hear stories of adventure,
    and only wish at night, while seated at their doorstep,
    to be out among the stars!
    Alas! Farewell! Farewell, fair traveler.
    If you had only wanted it, maybe one of us,
    oh young man, would have loved to serve you humbly on her knees,
    in our huts which are always open.
    She would have rocked you to sleep with the lullaby of her songs,
    And to chase the annoying flies away from your face,
    She would have made a fan of green leaves.
    If you never return, dream once in a while
    of the daughters of the desert, sisters of the sweetest voice,
    who dance barefoot on the dunes;
    Oh handsome young white man, lovely vagrant bird,
    Remember...remember that perhaps, swift stranger,
    your memory will endure with more than one person!
    Alas, goodbye! Farewell, fair traveler...Alas, goodbye...remember...

    Earlier, I became totally addicted to the album "Within Without", a real gem with its final breathtaking "Robert, toi que j'aime", by which Lisette took my heart. And now the deepest strings of my soul were touched by "Adieux de l'hôtesse arabe". The longer I listen to her, the more I fall in love with this song. Only poets have the right to write about her voice 💐. I am charmed not only by the music but also by the excellent contrasting image. She, as a captivating singing paradise bird against a parched, prickly, unfriendly desert. And in real life, she is for me a pattern of kindness and beauty. Lisette, now you have my soul! :-)

    Lisette - I am sooo glad to have "stumbled" across your channel! I have been wanting to tell you how MUCH I appreciate your incredible singing, musicianship, and overall artistry! I haven't heard a soprano of your caliber in many many years! You are one of the few singers today who truly knows how to use her voice properly, and understands the "old school" training of Bel Canto! BRAVA!
    I saw you last year with L.A. Opera as Gilda, and was highly impressed. You will (and already are) definitely go far with that great talent! Thank you for giving us hope in knowing there are still some great, and well trained, voices out there! You are awesome!

    Lisette, this is one of the best performances of Adieux de l'hotesse, Bravo!!. I just listened (on UA-cam) to the great Spanish Conchita Supervia, but must confess that by far I prefer yours. Until now I was/and still am very impressed by the British/Dutch mezzo Carolyn Watkinson (born 1949) , also on UA-cam, there is since 2018 another sublime version by you . Thanks so much for this valuable document and love from the Netherlands (Europe) .

      Since "discovering" you (there are so many flowers in the field, that one cannot know them all!) I keep on coming back almost daily to enjoy not only this aria, but gradually the rest that is offered by you or about you on youtube, surprising me more and more. Passed "the news"(!) on to friends and a famous Dutch soprano (teacher too) and my mother (91 years), still daily involved in classical music. We will also try to pass it on to the world famous mezzo Carolyn Watkinson (1949, mentioned before), now living in Holland and active as a teacher and giving master classes. You also remind me sometimes of the famous soprano Jill Gomez(1942 born Guayana, later Trinidad, now British), that I heard and met decades ago in Rotterdam, singing there together with (then young)Carolyn Watkinson, what a coincidance. Now we are looking forward to see you in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw! Lisette, have a nice sunday and a brilliant career to you! Love from the Netherlands.

      Lisette Oropesa Oh my goodness, the next few years are going to be awesome for you, I think I read somewhere that's when the soprano voice starts hitting its stride. I am not a pro like you, but I am a fellow classical soprano who has found this to be true. It just gets easier and things settle more into a groove. I will be 39 next Saturday, and it's like many of my vocal insecurities have melted away.
