The Pearl Fishers Duet - Bryn Terfel lyrics

The Opera Band
THE PEARL FISHERS
Hailed by many as the finest tenor-baritone duet in the entire operatic repertoire, this version—arranged for Amici Forever—is sung by David and Nick. Two fishermen, Nadir and Zurga, meet again after a long absence. Their friendship was once threatened by mutual love for a beautiful priestess, but they affirm that their sworn oath of loyalty has never since been broken.

NADIR
Au fond du temple saint
Paré de fleurs et d’or
Une femme apparaît!
Je crois la voir encore!

ZUGRA
Une femme apparaît!
Je crois la voir encore!

NADIR
La foule prosternée
La regarde, entonée
Et murmure tous bas:
Voyez, c’est la déesse!
Qui dans l’ombre se dresse
Et vers nous tend les bras!

ZURGA
Son voile se soulève!
Ô vision! Ô rêve!
La foule est à genoux!

NADIR/ZURGA
Oui, c’est elle!
C’est la déesse plus charmante et plus belle!
Oui, c’est elle!
C’est la déesse qui descend parmi nous!
Son voile se soulève et la foule est à genoux!

NADIR
Mais à travers la foul
Elle s’ouvre un passage!

ZURGA
Son long voile déjà
Nous cache son visage!

NADIR
Mon regard, hèlas!
La cherche en vain!

NADIR/ZURGA
Oui, c’est elle! C’est la déesse!
En ce jour qui vient nous unir,
Et fidèle à ma promesse,
Comme un frère je veux te chérir!
C’est elle, c’est la déesse
Qui vient en ce jour nous unir!
Oui, partageons le même sort,
Soyons unis jusqu’à la mort!
