Faust, Act 2: Les grands seigneurs... Ah! Je ris de me voir si belle

Charles Gounod

Only the great lords have airs so resolute,
With this sweetness!
Come on, think of it no more!
Dear Valentin! If God hears me,
I will see you again!
Here I am all alone! A bouquet...
It’s from Siebel, no doubt!
Poor boy!
What do I see there?
Where could this rich box come from?
I dare not touch it and yet…
Here is the key, I think!...
What if I opened it!... my hand trembles!... Why?
I do nothing wrong by opening it, I suppose!
Oh God! What jewels! Is this a charming dream
Which dazzles me, or am I awake?
My eyes have never seen such wealth!
If only I dared
To embellish myself for a moment
With these earrings!...
Ah! Here it is, certainly,
At the bottom of the casket, a mirror!
How not to be coquettish?
Ah! I laugh to see myself
So beautiful in this mirror...
Is it you, Marguerite,
Is it you?
Answer me, answer me,
Answer, answer, answer quickly!
No! No!
It is no longer you!...
No...no,
It is no longer your face;
It is the daughter of a king;
It is no longer you,
It is the daughter of a king,
Whom one bows to as she passes!
Ah if only he were here!
If he would see me like this!
Like a lady
He would find me beautiful!
Let us complete the metamorphosis.
I still long to try on
The bracelet and the necklace!
God! It is like a hand
Which is placed on my arm! Ah! Ah!
Ah! I laugh to see myself
So beautiful in this mirror...
Is it you, Marguerite,
Is it you?
Answer me, answer me,
Answer, answer, answer quickly!
Ah if only he were here!
If he would see me like this!
Like a lady
He would find me beautiful!
Marguerite this is no longer you,
This is no longer your face!
No! It is the daughter of a king,
Whom one bows to as she passes!
