Ouvre tes yeux bleus, ma mignonne:
Voici le jour!
Déjà la fauvette fredonne
Un chant d'amour.
L'aurore épanuit la rose:
Viens avec moi
Cueillir la marguerite éclose.
Réveille-toi! Réveille-toi!
Ouvre tes yeux bleus, ma mignonne:
Voici le
A quoi bon contempler la terre
Et sa beauté?
L'amour est un plus doux mystère
Qu'un jour d'été;
C'est un moi que l'oiseau module
Un chant vainqueur,
Et le grand soleil qui nous brûle
Est dans mon coeur!


Authorship * by Paul Robiquet (1848-1928) * by Jules Massenet (1842-1912) , "Ouvre tes yeux bleus", 1878, from Poème d'amour, no. 3.


Open your blue eyes, my darling:
The day has come!
Already the warbling bird sings
A song of love.
The dawn brings forth the rose:
Come with me
To pick the blossoming daisy.
Awake! Awake!
Open your blue eyes, my darling:
The day has come!
What good is it to contemplate the earth
And its beauty?
Love is more a sweet mystery
Than a summer day;
It is in myself that the bird is singing
His triumphant song,
And the great, burning sun
Is in my heart!

  • Very nice indeed! Thanks a bunch for uploading, chere amie! ;oD

  • @sopera 123, the pianist indeed is following the voice with extreme attention, he is Bryndon Hassman who was Rolando Villazon's accompanist for his first major New-York recital in 2004 .

  • beautiful pianist.

  • It was very special performance for Rolando and for all of us, who loves him so much. Great flexibility in his singing.

  • magnífica canción, magnífico recital, gracias !

  • Thank you very much for posting and sharing this with us!

    I like it, especially the last picture! :-)
