Our translations: ENG GER

Ces lieux brillent deja d'une vive clarte. 
Depuis long temps j'ai vu naitre l'aurore; 
Le charmant objet que j'adore 
Devait la preceder dans ce bois ecarte. 
Mais je ne la vois point encore.

Recitative

Language: English after the French (Français)

Those places were already vibrant with luminescence.
For a long time I watched the rising morning sun;
The charming object of my desire
Should have been in this wood even before her.
But she has not arrived yet.
