Is it you who cause her tears?
Come and see her in her pain.
What, is Lucile in pain,
And have I been able to cause her tears!
Ah! Lucile, in the name of your charms,
What is my crime or my misfortune?
Ah, Julie, ah, what pain!
Let me hide my tears.
Have I been able to cause your tears?
No, no, it is the excess of misfortune.
See at your knees,
A lover, a husband original: "Epoux". In this context, it implies a betrothed or spouse..
Deign to see him, deign to hear him,
It is a lover, it is a husband
Faithful & tender.
Dorval at my knees,
Ah, rise,
Go away.
No, no, that name so tender,
That name of lover, that name of husband,
I must no longer hear it:
It is no longer made for us.
