Ah! Viens, dans la forêt profonde, Gerard's aria from Lakme

Ah! Viens, dans la forêt profonde
L'aile de l'amour a passé,
Et, pour nous séparer du monde,
Sur nous le ciel s'est abaissé.
Ah! Viens, dans la forêt profonde
Pour nous faire oublier le monde
L'aile de l'amour a passé.
Ces fleurs courant capricieuses
Ont des senteurs voluptueuses
Qui jettent au coeur a molli
L'ivresse et l'oubli.
Ah! viens dans la forêt profonde,
Pour jamais faire oublier le monde
L'aile de l'amour a passé!
