French:
Dôme Epais (from Lakmé)

Sous le dôme épais, où le blanc jasmin
A la rose s’a*semble,
Sur la rive en fleurs riant au matin,
Viens, descendons ensemble.
Doucement glissons
De son flot charmant
Suivons le courant fuyant:
Dans l’on de frémissante,
D’une main nonchalante,
Viens, gagnons le bord,
Où la source dort
Et l’oiseau, l’oiseau chante.
Sous le dôme épais,
Sous le blanc jasmin,
Ah! descendons ensemble!

Mais, je ne sais quelle crainte subite,
S’empare de moi,
Quand mon père va seul à leur ville maudite;
Je tremble, je tremble d’effroi!

Pour que le Dieu Ganeça le protège,
Jusqu’à l’étang où s’ébattent joyeux
Les cygnes aux ailes de neige,
Allons cueillir les lotus bleus.

Oui, près des cygnes aux ailles de neige,
Allons cueillir les lotus bleus.
Ensemble


English:
Flower Duet

Under the thick dome, where the white jasmine
a*sembles 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:
In one trembling hand,
One nonchalant,
Come, let's find the bank
Where the source sleeps.
And the bird, the bird sings.
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
