"Ah! lève-toi, soleil! "
Ah! sun, arise!
ROMÉO
Ah! Sun, arise! And turn the stars pale
which shine so brightly in the azure sky.
Ah! arise! appear! appear!
Pure and charming star!
She's dreaming! She loosens
a lock of her hair
which caresses her cheek!
Love! Love! Carry my vows to her!
She speaks! How beautiful she is!
Ah! I did not hear anything!
But her eyes speak for her,
and my heart has answered!
Charles Gonoud's setting of Shakespeare's classic - Roméo et Juliette.
Later in the night, after the ball where he first sees Juliette, Roméo steals into the Capulets’ garden and sings of his love beneath her balcony.
