where could I get the lyrics for this and what language is it sung in?? I love this music so much

I like his interpretation of the piece, and good choir! I like it with a much slower tempo at the "ah que la nuit" and similar sections- I think the slower tempo there allows the soprano and tenor to really caress those notes. I love this piece, it's like a flower unfurling.. good job!
