Giacomo Meyerbeer – Rachel à Nephtali Lyrics
Artist: Giacomo Meyerbeer
Song: Rachel à Nephtali
Quoi, Nephtali, quoi, tu m’aimais?
Ta bouche enfin trahit ta flamme
Ah! tu devais m’ouvrir ton âme
Un an plus tôt, ou bien jamais
Ton frère, hélas! tu vois sa femme
Il a ma main et j’ai son coeur
Pitié, pitié, je suis ta soeur
Sous les palmiers non loin de Tyre
Pourquoi m’as-tu sauvé la vie?
Je n’irais point d’effroi suivie
Entre ses bras rougir, mentir
J’aurais sans crainte au ciel ravie
Crié ton nom vers le Seigneur
Malheur, malheur, hélas, je suis ta soeur
Le Dieu jaloux a l’oeil sur toi
C’est au Dieu fort à nous défendrе
Il veut lui seul se fairе entendre
Cache tes pleurs, c’est trop, épargne-moi!
Tes yeux si doux, ta voix si tendre
O Nephtali, tout me fait peur
Va-t-en, va-t-en, je suis ta soeur

Rachel à Nephtali Lyrics – English Translation
What, Nephtali, what, you loved me?
Your mouth finally betrays your flame
Ah! You had to open your soul to me
A year earlier, or never
Your brother, alas! You see his wife
He has my hand and I have his heart
Pity, pity, I am your sister
Under palm trees not far from Tyre
Why did you save my life?
I would not go on a dread followed
Between his arms blush, lie
I would have without fear in the delighted sky
Shouted your name to the Lord
Woe, woe, alas, I am your sister
The jealous God has the eye on you
It is to the strong God to defend us
He wants himself to hear himself
Hide your tears, it’s too much, spare me!
Your eyes so sweet, your voice so tender
O Nephtali, everything scares me
Go, go, I’m your sister
