MY HEART OPENS TO YOUR VOICE ......SAINT SAENS

This very romantic aria is from ...Samson and Delilah....an opera by Camille Saint Saens ....when i first heard  it I knew I wanted to transcribe it for my cello ....the lyrics (below) are as romantic as the music .......it is so melodic...it was a pleasure working with and playing it :-)

Thank you for stopping by and listening to my music, please check out other areas of my site while you are here.....and please stop back  again.......

LYRICS....

My heart opens to your voice
Like the flowers open
To the kisses of the dawn!
But, oh my beloved,
To better dry my tears,
Let your voice speak again!
Tell me that you are returning
To Delilah forever!
Repeat to my tenderness
The promises of old times,
Those promises that I loved!
Ah! respond to my tenderness!
Fill me with ecstasy!
 
Like one sees the blades
Of wheat that wave
In the light wind,
So trembles my heart,
Ready to be consoled,
By your voice that is so dear to me!
The arrow is less rapid
In bringing death,
Than is your lover
To fly into your arms!
Ah! respond to my tenderness!
Fill me with ecstasy!
