The English translation of the words to the Flower Duet from Act 1 of Leo Delibes' Lakme is: Under the thick dome of white jasmine With the roses entwined together On a river bank covered with flowers laughing in the morning Come, let us go down together. Gently floating on it's charming risings Let us follow the river's current On the shining waves One hand reaches Reaches for the bank Where the spring sleeps And the birds, the birds sing. Under the thick dome of white jasmine Ah! Let us go down together! It's an enchanting piece...
I have given a web page with the answer in the related links below. There is a translation also plus original language.2nd answerThere are two famous Flower Duets, both sung by a soprano and a mezzo-soprano. One is in Puccini's Madama Butterfly, the other and possibly more famous is in Lakme, by Leo Delibes.
**This is a poetic translation- not a literal translation (only the recitative sections of the flower duet) LAKME: Look Mallika! Lianes are in bloom Casting downward their shadows Over the sacred stream that flows calm and somber Awakened by the sound of the song-happy birds! MALLIKA: Oh dear mistress! It's time at last I see you smiling The time has come and I am reading What was closed up in the heart of Lakme! Dome pais... etc.... LAKME: I, don't know what overcame me To fill my heart full of fear When my father goes down alone to the doomed city I tremble, I tremble, my dear MALLIKA: Ganesha will watch over his protege Up til the pond where the merry do play With wings of snow swans are swimming Come let us pick the lotus blue LAKME: Oh yes, let's go where white swans are swimming And let us pick the lotus blue Dome pais..... etc.
This duet is from Mozart's "Don Giovanni"
Do you mean 'Carmina Burana' by Carl Orff? More specifically O'Fortuna it's the first and last track you can get it on iTunes. Also check out Flower Duet and TOCCOTA AND FUGUE by Johan Sebastian Bach.
There are "tons" of great operatic duets sung by women, but one of my personal favorites is The Flower Duet from Léo Delibes' Lakmé. A couple of other great ones are Canzonetta Sull'aria from the Marriage of Figaro by Mozart and Belle Nuit O Nuit D'Amour from The Tales of Hoffman by Offenbach. Oh...Oh...but wait, we can't forget the beautiful Flower Duet from Puccini's Madama Butterfly.Edit:*La Pesca - duet for soprano and mezzo soprano by Rossini.& I found a link with a list: http://www.opera-arias.com/duets/soprano-soprano/ Also, not all aria duets were in actual operas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_and_arias_of_Johann_Sebastian_Bach
