"Mon coeur s'ouvre a ta voix" in English

Composed by Camille Saint-Saens
English lyrics unknown



Softly awakes my heart
as the flowers awaken
You love, tender as ever

...
Now will I be forsaken
Speak again, or sleep forever
Oh say that from the isle
you'll never depart
...
Thou so dear to my heart
Thou so dear to my heart

**
Oh once again, I implore thee
Oh once again, say you adore me
I implore thee, say you adore me
Oh once again, say you adore me.

...spring wilt away
...gently moving
So says my trembling heart,
...so loving
...in its flight, is not swifter than I
when leaving all behind
To your arms I fly, into your arms I fly

Repeat **

Sunset, sunset,
I adore thee.
