    Zurga and Nadir's duet Au fond du Temple Saint
    Au fond du temple saint
    Paré de fleurs et d'or,
    Une femme apparaît!
    Je crois la voir encore!
    Une femme apparaît!
    Je crois la voir encore!
    La foule prosternée
    La regarde, etonnée,
    Et murmure tous bas:
    Voyez, c'est la déesse!
    Qui dans l'ombre se dresse
    Et vers nous tend les bras!
    Son voile se soulève!
    Ô vision! ô rêve!
    La foule est à genoux!
    Oui, c'est elle!
    C'est la déesse
    plus charmante et plus belle!
    Oui, c'est elle!
    C'est la déesse
    qui descend parmi nous!
    Son voile se soulève et la foule est à genoux!
    Mais à travers la foule
    Elle s'ouvre un passage!
    Son long voile déjà
    Nous cache son visage!
    Mon regard, hélas!
    La cherche en vain!
    Elle fuit!
    Elle fuit!
    Mais dans mon âme soudain
    Quelle étrange ardeur s'allume!
    Quel feu nouveau me consume!
    Ta main repousse ma main!
    Ta main repousse ma main!
    De nos cśurs l'amour s'empare
    Et nous change en ennemis!
    Non, que rien ne nous sépare!
    Non, rien!
    Que rien ne nous sépare!
    Non, rien!
    Jurons de rester amis!
    Jurons de rester amis!
    Jurons de rester amis!
    Oh oui, jurons de rester amis!
    Oui, c'est elle! C'est la déesse!
    En ce jour qui vient nous unir,
    Et fidèle à ma promesse,
    Comme un frère je veux te chérir!
    C'est elle, c'est la déesse
    Qui vient en ce jour nous unir!
    Oui, partageons le même sort,
    Soyons unis jusqu'à la mort!
    At the back of the holy temple,
    decorated with flowers and gold,
    A woman appears!
    A woman appears!
    I can still see her!
    I can still see her!
    The prostrate crowd
    looks at her amazed
    and murmurs under its breath:
    look, this is the goddess
    looming up in the shadow
    and holding out her arms to us.
    Her veil parts slightly.
    What a vision! What a dream!
    The crowd is kneeling.
    Yes, it is she!
    It is the goddess,
    more charming and more beautiful.
    Yes, it is she!
    It is the goddess
    who has come down among us.
    Her veil has parted and the crowd is kneeling.
    But through the crowd
    she makes her way.
    Already her long veil
    hides her face from us.
    My eyes, alas!
    Seek her in vain!
    She flees!
    She flees!
    But what is this strange flame
    which is suddenly kindled in my soul!
    What unknown fire is destroying me?
    Your hand pushes mine away!
    Your hand pushes mine away!
    Love takes our hearts by storm
    and turns us into enemies!
    No, let nothing part us!
    No, nothing!
    Let nothing part us!
    No, nothing!
    Let us swear to remain friends!
    Let us swear to remain friends!
    Let us swear to remain friends!
    Oh yes, let us swear to remain friends!
    Yes, it is her, the goddess,
    who comes to unite us this day.
    And, faithful to my promise,
    I wish to cherish you like a brother!
    It is her, the goddess,
    who comes to unite us this day!
    Yes, let us share the same fate,
    let us be united until death!
