CD 1

Premire Partie

Introduction

1 Scne I

Plaines de Hongrie.

Faust, seul, dans les champs au lever du soleil.

Faust

Le vieil hiver a fait place au printemps;

La nature sest rajeunie;Des cieux la coupole infinieLaisse pleuvoir mille feux clatants.Je sens glisser dans lair la brise matinale;De ma poitrine ardente un souffle pur sexhale.Jentends autour de moi le rveil des oiseaux,Le long bruissement des plantes et des eaux Oh! quil est doux de vivre au fond des solitudes,Loin de la lutte humaine et loin des multitudes!

2 Scne II

Ronde des paysans

Chur

Les bergers laissent leurs troupeaux;Pour la fte ils se rendent beaux;Fleurs des champs et rubans sont leur parure;Sous les tilleuls, les voil tous,Dansant, sautant comme des fous.Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Landerida!Suivez donc la mesure!Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Landerida!

Faust

Quels sont ces cris? quel est ce bruit lointain?

Chur

Tra la la la la la! ha ha!

Faust

Ce sont des villageois, au lever du matin,Qui dansent en chantant sur la verte pelouse.De leurs plaisirs ma misre est jalouse.

The Damnation of Faust

CD 1

Part One

Introduction

1 Scene I

The plains of Hungary.

Faust, alone, in the fields at sunrise.

Faust

The old winter has given way to spring;

Nature is young again;The infinite dome of heavenRains down a thousand bright lights.I feel the gentle morning breeze in the air;From my ardent breast a pure breath is exhaled.I hear about me the awaking of the birds,The long rustling of the plants and waters Oh how sweet it is to live amid solitude,Far from human struggle and far from the crowds!

2 Scene II

Peasants Dance

Chorus

The shepherds leave their flocks;They deck themselves out for the holiday;Flowers of the fields and ribbons are their ornament;Under the lime-trees, there they all are,Dancing, leaping like madmen.Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Landerida!Follow then the dance.Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Landerida!

Faust

What are these cries? What is this distant noise?

Chorus

Tra la la la la la! Ha ha!

Faust

These are villagers, at sunrise,Who dance, singing, on the green grass.Of their pleasures I am jealous in my misery.



Chur

Ils passent tous comme lclair,Et les robes volaient en lair;Mais bientt on fut moins agile;Le rouge leur montait au front;Et lun sur lautre dans le rond,Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Landerida!

Tous tombaient la file.Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Landerida!Ne me touchez donc pas ainsi!Paix! ma femme nest point ici!Profitons de la circonstance!Dehors il lemmena soudain,Et tout pourtant allait son train,Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Landerida!La musique et la danse. La, la, la,Tra la la la la la! ha ha!

3 Scne III

Une autre partie de la place

Une arme qui savance

Faust

Mais dun clat guerrier les campagnes se parent.Ah! les fils du Danube aux combats se prparent!Avec quel air fier et joyeux

Ils portent leur armure!Et quel feu dans leurs yeux!Tout cur frmit leur chant de victoire;Le mien seul reste froid, insensible la gloire.

4Marche hongroise

Les troupes passent. Faust sloigne.

Deuxime Partie

5 Scne IV

Nord de lAllemagne

Faust seul dans son cabinet de travail

Faust

Sans regrets jai quitt les riantes campagnesO ma suivi lennui;Sans plaisirs je revois nos altires montagnes;Dans ma vieille cit je reviens avec lui.Oh! je souffre! et la nuit sans toiles,Qui vient dtendre au loin son silence et ses voiles,Ajoute encore mes sombres douleurs. terre! pour moi seul tu nas donc pas de fleurs!

Chorus

They pass by like a flash of lightning,And their dresses flew in the air;But soon they are less agile;A blush came to their cheeks;And one after the other in the round,Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Landerida!

All fell in turn.Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Landerida!Do not touch me so!Peace! My wife is not here!Let us seize the occasion!He led her away suddenly,And yet the dance went on.Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Landerida!The music and the dance.Tra la la la la la! Ha ha!

3 Scene III

Another part of the plain

An army advances

Faust

But with warlike sound the countryside is filled.Ah! The sons of the Danube make ready for battle.With what proud and happy air

They carry their arms!And what fire in their eyes!Every heart trembles at their song of victory;Mine alone remains cold, insensible to their glory.

4 Hungarian March

The troops pass by. Faust moves away.

Part Two

5 Scene IV

North Germany

Faust alone in his study

Faust

Without regret have I left the smiling countrysideWhere tedium followed me;Without pleasure I see again our lofty mountains;I return to my old city with it.Oh! I suffer! And the starless nightThat has just stretched out afar its silence and its veilsAdds still to my dark sorrows.O earth, for me alone you have no flowers!



Par le monde, o trouver ce qui manque ma vie?Je cherchais en vain, tout fuit mon pre envie!Allons, il faut finir! Mais je tremble PourquoiTrembler devant labme entrouvert devant moi? coupe trop longtemps mes dsirs ravie,Viens, viens, noble cristal, verse le poison

Qui doit illuminerOu tuer ma raison.(Il porte la coupe ses lvres. Sons des cloches.Chants religieux dans lglise voisine.)

6 Chant de la Fte de Pques

Chur

Christ vient de ressusciter!

FaustQuentends-je?

Chur

Quittant du tombeauLe sjour funeste,Au parvis clesteIl monte plus beau.Vers les gloires immortellesTandis quil slance grands pas.

Ses disciples fidlesLanguissent ici-bas.Hlas! cest ici quil nous laisseSous les traits brlants du malheur. divin matre! ton bonheurEst cause de notre tristesse. divin matre! tu nous laissesSous les traits brlants du malheur.

Faust

souvenirs! mon me tremblante!Sur laile de ces chants vas-tu voler aux cieux!La foi chancelanteRevient, me ramenant la paix des jours pieux,Mon heureuse enfance,La douceur de prier,La pure jouissanceDerrer et de rverPar les vertes prairies,Aux clarts infiniesDun soleil de printemps! baiser de lamour clesteQui remplissait mon cur de doux pressentimentsEt chassait tout dsir funeste!

Where in all the world will I find what my life lacks?I sought in vain, all fled my bitter desire!Come, I must end it! But I tremble WhyTremble before the abyss that opens before me?O cup too long enraptured with my desires,Come, come, noble glass, pour the poison

That must lightOr kill my reason.(He lifts the cup to his lips. Bells sound.

Religious chanting from the neighbouring church.)

6 Easter Hymn

Chorus

Christ is risen!

FaustWhat do I hear?

Chorus

Leaving the tombsDire stay,To the celestial courtHe fairer mounts.To immortal gloryHe strides.

His faithful disciplesLanguish here below.Alas! He leaves us hereUnder the burning signs of misfortune.O divine master, your happinessIs the cause of our sadness.O divine master, you leave usUnder the burning signs of misfortune.

Faust

O memories!O my trembling soul!On the wing of these songs will you fly to heaven!Stumbling faithReturns, bringing me back the peace of pious days,My happy childhood,The sweetness of praying,The pure joyOf wandering and dreamingThrough the green fieldsAt the infinite brightnessOf spring sunshine!O kiss of celestial loveThat filled my heart with sweet presentimentsAnd chased away every gloomy desire!



Chur

Christ vient de ressusciter! Mais croyons en sa parole ternelle,Nous le suivrons un jourAu cleste sjourO sa voix nous appelle.Hosanna! Hosanna!

7 Faust

Hlas! doux chants du ciel, pourquoi dans sa poussireRveiller le maudit!Hymnes de la prire,Pourquoi soudain venir branler mon dessein?Vos suaves accords rafrachissent mon sein.Chants plus doux que lauroreRetentissez encore,Mes larmes ont coul, le Ciel ma reconquis.

8 Scne V

Mphistophls

(apparaissant brusquement) pure motion!Enfant du saint parvis!Je tadmire, docteur!Les pieuses volesDe ces cloches dargent

Ont charm grandementTes oreilles troubles!

Faust

Qui donc es-tu, toi dont lardent regardPntre ainsi que lclat dun poignard,Et qui, comme la flamme,Brle et dvore lme?

Mphistophls

Vraiment pour un docteur, la demande est frivole!Je suis lEsprit de Vie, et cest moi qui console.Je te donnerai tout, le bonheur, le plaisir,Tout ce que peut rver le plus ardent dsir!

Faust

Eh bien! pauvre dmon, fais-moi voir tes merveilles.

Mphistophls

Certes! jenchanterai tes yeux et tes oreilles.Au lieu de tenfermer, triste comme le verQui ronge tes bouquins,Viens, suis-moi, change dair.

Chorus

Christ is risen! But let us believe in his eternal word,We shall follow him one dayTo the celestial dwellingTo which his voice calls us.Hosanna! Hosanna!

7 Faust

Alas! Sweet songs of heaven, why, in his dust,Awaken the accursed man!Hymns of prayer,Why suddenly come to shake my intention?Your sweet concords refresh my bosom.Songs sweeter than the dawnStill sound,My tears have flowed, Heaven has won me back.

8 Scene V

Mephistopheles

(appearing suddenly)O pure emotion!Child of the holy church!I admire you, doctor!The pious pealsOf these silver bells

Have charmedYour troubled ears.

Faust

Who are you, whose burning lookPenetrates like the flash of a dagger,And who, like flame,Burns and devours the soul?

Mephistopheles

Truly for a doctor that is a frivolous question.I am the Spirit of Life, and it is I that console.I will give you everything, happiness, pleasure,All that the most ardent desire can dream of.

Faust

Very well, pour demon, show me your wonders.

Mephistopheles

Indeed! I shall enchant your eyes and your ears.Instead of shutting yourself away, sad as the wormThat gnaws your books,Come, follow me to a new place.



Faust

Jy consens.

0 Chur de Buveurs

Buveurs

Oh! quil fait bon quand le ciel tonneRester prs dun bol enflamm,Et se remplir comme une tonne

Dans un cabaret enfum!Jaime le vin et cette eau blondeQui fait oublier le chagrin.Quand ma mre me mit au monde,Jeus un ivrogne pour parrain.Oh! quil fait bon quand le ciel tonne Qui sait quelque plaisante histoire?En riant le vin est meilleur.A toi, Brander! Il na plus de mmoire!

Brander

(ivre)Jen sais une, et jen suis lauteur.

Buveurs

Eh bien donc! vite!

Brander

Puis quon minvite,Je vais vous chanter de nouveau.

Buveurs

Bravo! bravo!

Faust

I agree.

Mephistopheles

Let us go then to learn about life.And leave the rubbish of philosophy.(They go.)

9 Scene VI

Auerbachs cellar in Leipzig

Drinkers

Drink again!Some wineOf the Rhine!

MephistophelesHere, Faust, is a time to spend in mad company.Here wine and song make life delight.

0 Chorus of Drinkers

Drinkers

Oh how good it is when heaven thundersTo stay by a burning bowlAnd fill oneself like a barrel

In a smoke-filled tavern!I love wine and this fair liquidThat makes me forget trouble.When my mother brought me into the worldI had a drunkard for godfather.O how good it is when the heaven thunders Who knows some amusing tale?Laughing, wine is better.To you, Brander! He has forgotten!

Brander

(drunk)I know one, and I made it up.

Drinkers

Come on then, quick!

Brander

Since you ask me,I am going to sing it to you again.

Drinkers

Bravo! Bravo!



! Chanson de Brander

Brander

Certain rat, dans une cuisineEtabli, comme un vrai frater,Sy traiter si bien que sa mineEt fait envie au gros Luther.

Mais un beau jour le pauvre diable,Empoisonn sauta dehorsAussi triste, aussi misrableQue sil et eu lamour au corps.

Buveurs

Que sil et eu lamour au corps.

Brander

Il courait devant et derrire;

Il grattait, reniflait, mordait,Parcourait la maison entire;La rage ses maux ajoutait,Au point qu laspect du dlireQui consumait ses vains efforts,Les mauvais plaisants pouvaient dire:Ce rat a bien lamour au corps!

Buveurs

Ce rat a bien lamour au corps!

Brander

Dans le fourneau le pauvre sireCrut pourtant se cacher trs bien;Mais il se trompait, et le pire,Cest quon ly fit rtir enfin.La servante, mchante fille,De son malheur rit bien alors!Ah! disait-elle, comme il grille!Il a vraiment lamour au corps!

Buveurs

Il a vraiment lamour au corps!Requiescat in pace. Amen.

Brander

Pour lAmen une fugue! une fugue, un choral!Improvisons un morceau magistral!

Mphistophls

(bas Faust)Ecoute bien ceci! nous allons voir, docteur,La bestialit dans toute sa candeur.

! Branders Song

Brander

A certain rat, in a kitchenLiving, like a true friar,Did so well that his appearanceWould have made fat Luther envy him.

But one fine day the poor devil,poisoned, jumped outAs sad, as wretchedAs if it had been on heat.

Drinkers

As if it had been on heat.

Brander

It ran backwards and forwards;

It scratched, sniffed, bit,Ran through the whole house;Anger added to its troublesUntil at the sight of the frenzyThat drained all its efforts,Evil jokers could have said:This rat is really on heat.

Drinkers

This rat is really on heat.

Brander

In the stove the poor animalThought it could hide;But it was wrong, and worse,In the end it was roasted,The servant, wicked girl,Laughed then at its misfortune.Ah!, she said, how it roasts!It really is on heat.

Drinkers

It really is on heat.May it rest in peace. Amen.

Brander

A fugue for the Amen. A fugue, a chorale!Let us improvise a masterpiece!

Mephistopheles

(aside to Faust)Listen to this! We shall see, doctor,Brutality in its very essence.



@ Fugue sur le thme de la Chanson de Brander

Brander et Buveurs

Amen, amen, amen

#Mphistophls

Vrai dieu! messieurs, votre fugue est fort belle,

Et telleQu lentendre on se croit aux saints lieux.Souffrez quon vous le dise:Le style en est savant, vraiment religieux;On ne saurait exprimer mieuxLes sentiments pieuxQuen terminant ses prires lgliseEn un seul mot rsume.Maintenant,Puis-je mon tour riposter par un chant

Sur un sujet non moins touchantQue le vtre?

Buveurs

Ah a! mais se moque-t-il de nous?Quel est cet homme?Oh! quil est ple et commeSon poil est roux.Nimporte! Volontiers! Autre chanson! A vous!

$ Chanson de Mphistophls

Mphistophls

Une puce gentilleChez un prince logeait.Comme sa propre fille,Le brave homme laimait,Et, lhistoire assure,Par son tailleur un jourLui fit prendre mesurePour un habit de cour.

Linsecte, plein de joieDs quil se vit parDor, de velours, de soie,Et de croix dcor,Fit venir de provinceSes frres et ses sursQui, par ordre du prince,Devinrent grands seigneurs.

Mais ce qui fut bien pire,Cest que les gens de cour,Sans en oser rien dire,Se grattaient tout le jour.

@ Fugue on the Theme of Branders Song

Brander and Drinkers

Amen, amen, amen

#Mephistopheles

By God, gentlemen, your fugue is very fine,

And to hear itOne would think one was in heaven.Let me tell you:The style is learned, truly religious;One would not know better how to expressPious sentimentsThan in finishing church prayersSummed up in a single word.Now,Can I in my turn reply with a song

On a subject no less touchingThan yours?

Drinkers

Now then! But is he making fun of us?What is this man?Oh, how pale he is and howred his hair.No matter! Willingly! Another song! To you!

$ Song of Mephistopheles

Mephistopheles

A gentle fleaLodged with a prince.Like his own daughterThe good man loved it,And, the story goes,One day had his tailorMake a court dressFor him.

The insect, full of joyWhen he saw himself decked outIn gold, velvet, silk,And decorated with a cross,Invited from the countryHis brothers and sisters,Who, on the princes orders,Were made great nobles.

But what was worseWas that the courtiersWithout daring to say anythingWere scratching all day.



Cruelle politique!Ah! plaignons leur destin,Et, ds quune nous pique,Ecrasons-la soudain!

Buveurs

Bravo! bravo! bravo! ha! ha!

Oui, crasons-la soudain!

% Faust

Assez! fuyons ces lieux, o la parole est vile,La joie ignoble et le geste brutal!Nas-tu dautres plaisirs, un sjour plus tranquilleA me donner, toi, mon guide infernal?

5 Le roi de Thul - Chanson gothique

Marguerite

(elle chante en tressant ses cheveux)Autrefois un roi de Thul,Qui jusquau tombeau fut fidle,Reut, la mort de sa belle,Une coupe dor cisel.Comme elle ne le quittait gure,Dans les festins les plus joyeux,Toujours une larme lgreA sa vue humectait ses yeux.

Ce prince, la fin de sa vie,Lgue ses villes et son or,Except la coupe chrieQu la main il conserve encor.Il fait, sa table royale,Asseoir ses barons et ses pairs,Au milieu de lantique salleDun chteau que baignaient les mers.

Le buveur se lve et savanceAuprs dun vieux balcon dor;Il boit, et soudain sa main lanceDans les flots le vase sacr!

Adieu, control yourself,Or you lose her.(He hides Faust behind the curtains.)Fine. My wills-o-the-wisp and IAre going to sing you a fine wedding anthem.(He goes.)

FaustOh, calm yourself, my soul!

4 Scene XI

(Marguerite enters carrying a lamp. Faust hides.)

Marguerite

How stifling the air is!I am afraid like a child.

It is my dream of yesterday that had troubled me In my dream I saw him .. him my future lover.How handsome he was!God! I was loved so passionately!And how I loved him!Shall we ever meetIn this life Folly!

5 The King of Thule - Medieval Song

Marguerite

(she sings while plaiting her hair)Once there was a king of ThuleWho was faithful until death,Received, on his fair ones death,A carved cup of gold.As it never left him,In the happiest festivalsAlways a light tearMoistened his eyes.

This prince, at the end of his life,Bequeathed his towns and his gold,Except the dear cupThat he still kept in his hand.He made his barons and peersSit at his table,In the middle of the ancient hallOf a castle bathed by the sea.

The drinker stands and goesTo an old gilded balcony;He drinks, and suddenly his hand throwsThe sacred vessel into the waves!



Le vase tombe: leau bouillonne,Puis se calme aussitt aprs.Le vieillard plit et frissonne:Il ne boira plus dsormais.

Autrefois un roi de ThulJusquau tombeau fut fidle

Ah!

Mphistophls

Esprits des flammes inconstantes,

Accourez! jai besoin de vous.Accourez! accourez!Follets capricieux, vos lueurs malfaisantesVont charmer une enfant et lamener nous.Au nom du Diable, en danse!Et vous, marquez bien la cadence,Mntriers denfer, ou je vous teins tous!

7Menuet des follets

(Les follets excutent des volutions et des dansesbizarres autour de la maison de Marguerite.)

8Mphistophls

(il fait les mouvements dun homme qui joue de lavielle)Maintenant,Chantons cette belle une chanson morale,Pour la perdre plus srement.

9 Srnade de Mphistophls

Mphistophls

Devant la maisonDe celui qui tadore,Petite Louison,Que fais-tu ds laurore?Au signal du plaisir,Dans la chambre du drille,Tu peux bien entrer fille,Mais non fille en sortir.Devant la maison

Mphistophls et Follets

Que fais-tu? Ha!

The vessel falls; the water bubbles,Then is calm again.The old man grows pale and shudders;He will not drink again.

Once there was a king of ThuleUntil death .. he was faithful

Ah!

Spirits of inconstant flames,

Come! I have need of you.Come! Come!Capricious wills-o-the-wisp, you mischievous lightsAre going to charm a child and bring her to us.In the name of the Devil, dance!And mark you well the cadence,Minstrels of Hell, or I will quench you all!

(The wills-o-the-wisp dance their strange dancesabout Marguerites house.)

Mephistopheles and the Wills-o-the-Wisp

What are you doing? Ha!



Mphistophls

Il te tend les bras:Prs de luiTu cours vite.Bonne nuit, hlas!Ma petite, bonne nuit.Prs du moment fatal

Fais grande rsistance,Sil ne toffre davanceUn anneau conjugal.

Farewell, farewell, through the gardenYou can escape.

O my Faust!I give you my life.Love has taken possession of my enchanted soul,

Mephistopheles

I can then lead you into life,Proud spirit!The moment approaches when I am going to seize you.Without fulfilling your consuming desire.Love, making you drunk, will double your folly.I can then, as I will, lead you into life,Proud spirit!The moment approaches when I am going to seize you.

Et loin de sa prsence,Tout me parat en deuil.Alors ma pauvre tteSe drange bientt,Mon faible cur sarrte,Puis se glace aussitt.Sa marche que jadmire,Son port si gracieux,Sa bouche au doux sourire,Le charme de ses yeux,

Sa voix enchanteresse,Dont il sait membraser,De sa main, la caresse,Hlas! et son baiser,Dune amoureuse flamme,Consument mes beaux jours!Ah! la paix de mon meA donc fui pour toujours!Je suis ma fentre,Ou dehors, tout le jour -

Marguerite

Loves burning flameConsumes my life.Ah, my souls peaceHas fled for ever.His departure, his absenceAre death to me,

And far from his presenceAll seems to me in mourning.Now my poor headIs soon in turmoil,My feeble heart stops,Then at once freezes over.His gait that I admire,His carriage so graceful,His mouth sweetly smiling,The charm of his eyes,

His enchanting voiceWith which he knows how to set me afire,The caress of his hand,Alas! and his kiss,The flame of loveConsume my life.Ah, my souls peaceHas fled for ever.I am at my windowOr outside all day -

To see him appear,Or hasten his return.My heart beats and throbs fasterWhen it senses his coming,O that through my tendernessI might bring him back!O burning caresses!How I should wish one dayTo see my soul sighIn his loving kisses!

To the sound of trumpetsThe brave soldiersRush forward to feastsOr to battles.

Soon the whole town will go to sleep.
