Jacques Offenbach - Barcarole

 

On New Year Eve, my man B and I went to the Roy Thomson Hall to listen to the performance Bravissimo. one of the arias was Barcarole by Jacques Offenbach. The music is spectacular and the lyrics are so beautiful. It tells a a lot about how I feel and see my love for my Man. It’s a great love poem put in music. I found the English Lyrics and I wish to share it here. I love you Bruce.

 

Lovely night, oh, night of love

Smile upon our joys!

Night much sweeter than the day

Oh beautiful night of love!

 

Time flies by, and carries away

Our tender caresses for ever!

Time flies far from this happy oasis

And does not return

 

Burning zephyrs

Embrace us with your caresses!

Burning zephyrs

Give us your kisses!

Your kisses! Your kisses! Ah!

 

Lovely night, oh, night of love

Smile upon our joys!

Night much sweeter than the day

Oh, beautiful night of love!

 

Ah! Smile upon our joys!

Night of love, oh, night of love!

Ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah!
