Viens Mallika Sous Le Dome Edais From Lakme

Under the thick dome,
where the white jasmine
Assembles at the rose,
On the river of flowers,
laughing in the morning.
Come, let's descend together.

Gently, let's slip
Around its charming flood.
Let's follow the fleeing current
With one careless hand let's reach
for the bank,
Come, let's find the bank
Where the source sleeps.
And the birds, the birds sing.
Under the thick dome,
Under the white jasmine,
Let's descend together.

But, I don't know what sudden fear
seizes me,
When my father goes alone to their cursed city
I tremble, I tremble from fear.
So that the God Ganesha protects him,
Until the pond where swans with snow-white wings
play together joyously.
Let's go pick blue lotuses.
Yes, near swans with snow-white wings,
Let's pick blue lotuses
Together

Under the thick dome, where the white jasmine
Assembles at the rose,
On the river of flowers, laughing in the morning.
Come, let's descend together.

Gently, let's slip
Around its charming flood.
Let's follow the fleeing current:
With one careless hand,
Come, let's find the bank
Where the source sleeps.
And the bird, the bird sings.
Come, let's descend together.
