Dormez Dormez [English translation]

Sleep ye, sleep, o insensible hearts

Who seek but the joys of daytime

The sleep of peaceful poppies

Are not worth the vigils of love

It's Aurore, my dear Aurore

That night and day just makes me moan

For when you think of those you love,

How can you sleep ?

This god adorned with fresh-picked flowers

Will spread them across your chest

His voice makes the beautiful ones tender

Hear, Hear his sweet refrain

It's Aurore, my dear Aurore

That night and day just makes me groan

For when one thinks of those one loves,

One may sleep

(INTERLUDE)

For you I've prolonged my vigil

Aurore, Aurore, o answer me

It's tender love that awakens me

It flies, it flies to be near to you

It's Aurore, my dear Aurore

That night and day just makes me moan

For when you think of those you love,

How can you sleep ?
