Elina Garancas glorious interpretation of Camille Saint Saens "Mon coeur s'ouvre à ta voix" from Samson et Dalila.

In Baden Baden 3rd August 2007.

Lyrics and Translation

Mon coeur s'ouvre à ta voix,
My heart opens to your voice,
comme s'ouvrent les fleurs
like the flowers open
Aux baiser de l'aurore!
To the kisses of the dawn!
Mais, ô mon bienaimé,
But, o my beloved,
pour mieux sécher mes pleurs,
To dry my tears the best,
Que ta voix parle encore!
Let your voice speak again!
Dis-moi qu'à Dalila
Tell me that to Dalila
tu reviens pour jamais,
You will return forever,
Redis à ma tendresse
Repeat to my tenderness
Les serments d'autrefois,
The oaths of other times,
ces serments que j'aimais!
the oaths that I loved!
Ah! réponds à ma tendresse!
Ah! respond to my tenderness!
Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse!
Pour out to me the drunkeness!

Ainsi qu'on voit des blés
Like one sees the wheat
les épis onduler
the blades undulate
Sous la brise légère,
Under the light breeze,
Ainsi frémit mon coeur,
So trembles my hear,
prêt à se consoler,
ready to be consoled,
A ta voix qui m'est chère!
by your voice which is dear to me!
La flèche est moins rapide
The arrow is less quick
à porter le trépas,
to carry death,
Que ne l'est ton amante
Than is your love
à voler dans tes bras!
to fly into my arms!
Ah! réponds à ma tendresse!
Ah! resond to my tenderness!
Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse!
Pour out to me the drunkeness!

thumbs up if muse brought you here

[RomaShop1]

Callas "sacrificed" precision for emotion. Emotion is in fact what ART is all about anyhow. Solid technique is great and in most cases a must, but it is not the reason why we sing, dance, draw, sculpt. It is the emotional enlightenment that matters. That is why Callas and many others were brilliant. Who can do this? You? Perhaps you can. I hope so. I hope we all can in some way or another. God bless.

Ton amour est le brasier amoureux, ton amour si fort et si douloureux. Je t'aime.

[ParkJinna]

Definitely there are others who able to sing this piece far more better than her, but for some reason, I find myself constantly coming back to this to listen to this version. She definitely sacrifices of singing technically perfect, but the emotion that's given instead is far superior to listen to.

[DanBarthy]

She`s Superb! 

[aussiechickdiana]

Fabulous!

gogo clarinet solo! :)

[Pianista061292]

Very good performance of this aria, but I prefer Jessye Norman's version :)

[TedMichaelMorgan]

Simply perfect. I believe this is one of the very best perfromances. Her restraint is part of her magic. I agree that Olga Borodina understands the aria and I think she is as good.
