Berlioz, song of bliss.

Le chant du bonheur, by H.Berlioz.
Pictures by Degas.
Sung by John Mitchinson, tenor.
The London Symphony Orchestra Conducted by Pierre Boulez.
Oh my happiness, my life
My entire being, my god, my universe,
Is near you any good, any good that I long for?
I see you, you smile, the skies are open for me.
The euphoria of love is almost a suffering.
This tender beat is more delicious.
Oh! lean only one moment, lean this charming head!
Come! come! O my beautiful adored
On my distraught heart come to return this kiss!

I think this is follows Symphony Fantastique. Both are masterpieces. Maybe I am wrong,but I think he was in love a young landy name Miranda at that time. I know

she is mention'd in Lelio. Just wondering.

The music is from Lelio of Berlioz. A very interest piece of music usually play

after Symphony Fantastique. I think Berlioz was in love with a young lady named

Miranda when he wrote Lelio. Beautiful piece of music. Thanks for posting.

Oh mon bonheur, ma vie

Mon être tout entier, mon dieu, mon univers,

Est-il auprès de toi quelque bien, quelque bien que jénvie?

Je te vois, tu souris, les cieux me sont ouverts.

L'ivresse de l'amour est presqu'une souffrance.

Ce tendre battement est plus délicieux.

Oh! penche un seul instant, penche cette tête charmante!

Viens! viens! O ma belle adorée

Sur mon coeur éperdu viens rendre ce baiser!
