Vogue, vogue la Galère (Aicard, set by C. Saint-Saëns) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Vogue, vogue la galère,
Plus vite et plus vite encor
Vers Cythère,
Cythère aux horizons d'or!

La rive semble enflammée,
Et sous un rideau vermeil 
De fumée 
S'écrouler dans le soleil.

Tout s'écroule avec la brume;
Mais demain l'îlot charmant
Dans l'écume 
Emergera doucement.

Vogue, vogue la galère,
Plus vite et plus vite encor
Vers Cythère,
Cythère aux horizons d'or!
