Oreste:
Love me tonight
Now, while I long for you.
Jean:
Love that in a day may be dying.
That sorrow will never renew.

Oreste:
The hours that we know
Measure our dream of delight.
Jean:
Sweetheart, before they go,
Love me.
Oreste:
I love you tonight!

Oreste:Love me tonight(Jean: My heart is crying love,)

The hours that we know
Measure our dream of delight
Sweetheart, before they go,
Oreste: Love me,
Oreste and Jean: Oh, love me tonight!
