Lyrics and translation Henry Purcell, Elin Manahan Thomas, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment & Harry Christophers - When I Am Laid In Earth (Dido's Lament)




When I Am Laid In Earth (Dido's Lament)
Quand je serai mise en terre (La plainte de Didon)
Thy hand, belinda, darkness shades me.
Ta main, Belinda, m'enveloppe de ténèbres.
On thy bosom let me rest.
Laisse-moi reposer sur ton sein.
More I would, but death invades me.
J'aimerais tant, mais la mort m'envahit.
Death is now a welcome guest.
La mort est maintenant un invité bienvenu.
When I am laid in earth, may my wrongs create
Quand je serai mise en terre, que mes torts ne créent
No trouble in thy breast.
Pas de trouble en ton sein.
Remember me, but ah! forget my fate.
Souviens-toi de moi, mais oh! oublie mon sort.
Remember me, but ah!
Souviens-toi de moi, mais oh!
Forget my fate.
Oublie mon sort.
Remember me, remember me, but ah!
Souviens-toi de moi, souviens-toi de moi, mais oh!
Forget my fate.
Oublie mon sort.
Remember me, but ah!
Souviens-toi de moi, mais oh!
Forget my fate
Oublie mon sort
