Sainte Thérèse prie...

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: SPA

Je le possède; il m'aime; il est là !
Je respire Son haleine et je vois rayonner son sourire
Il est mon sang, ma vie, et moi... je ne suis plus !
Douce allégresse !
Ô voix des cieux et de la terre, elevez-vous !
Chantez l'ineffable mystère.
Le Bien-Aimé qui dort sur mon cœur, c'est Jésus !

Monde, espoirs, vanités, devant lui tout s'efface...
Mes yeux sont éblouis des splendeurs de sa face...
À sa clarté, mon cœur renaît... et va s'ouvrir.

Ô Bien-Aimé ! fuyons, fuyons vers l'éternelle aurore !
Viens ! Viens ! je sens en mon âme un feu qui la dévore.
Je souffre et t'aime, et meurs de ne pouvoir mourir !

Je le possède ; il m'aime;
Le Bien-Aimé dort sur mon cœur,
Je le possède !
Il est ma vie, il m'aime ! Il est là !
C'est Jésus !

Note: Massenet's score indicates at the top: "(avec ferreur)"

Santa Teresa reza

Language: Spanish (Español) after the French (Français)

¡Le poseo, me ama, está aquí!
Respiro su aliento y veo irradiar su sonrisa --
Es mi sangre, mi vida, ¡yo ya no soy nada! 
¡Dulce alegría!
¡Oh voces del cielo y de la tierra, elevaos! 
Cantad el inefable misterio.
¡El Bien amado que duerme en mi corazón, es Jesús!

Mundo, anhelos, vanidades, todo desaparece ante Él.
Mis ojos están deslumbrados por el esplendor de su rostro.
Con su claridad mi alma renace y se expande.

[...]
¡Ven, ven! Siento en mi alma un fuego que la devora.
¡Sufro y amo, y muero de no pode morir!

¡Le poseo, me ama;
El Bien amado duerme en mi corazón,
¡Le poseo!
¡Es mi vida, me ama! ¡Está aquí!
¡Es Jesús!
