Thaïs, Act 2: Ah, je suis seule... Dis-moi que je suis belle

Ah! I am alone, alone at last!
All these men are nothing but
Indifference and brutality.
The women are spiteful...
And the hours are heavy...
My soul is empty...
Where can I find rest?
And how can I preserve happiness?
O my faithful mirror, reassure me!
Tell me that I am beautiful
And that I will be eternally beautiful!
Eternally!
That nothing will ever
Wither my rosy lips,
That nothing will tarnish
The pure golden of my hair!
Tell it to me! Tell it to me!
Tell me that I am beautiful
And that I will be eternally beautiful!
Eternally!
Ah! I will be eternally beautiful!
Ah! Be silent, pitiless voice,
The voice that tells me:
""Thaïs, you will get old!...
Thaïs, you will get old!
And one day,
Thaïs will be no longer""
No! No! I cannot believe it.
You, Venus,
Reassure me of my beauty!
Venus, reassure me that it will last forever!
Venus, unseen yet present!
Venus, fascination of the shadow!
Venus! Reassure me! Reassure me!
Tell me that I am beautiful
And that I will be eternally beautiful!
Eternally!
That nothing will ever
Wither my rosy lips,
That nothing will tarnish
The pure golden of my hair!
Tell it to me! Tell it to me!
Tell me that I am beautiful
And that I will be eternally beautiful!
Eternally!
Ah! I will be eternally beautiful!
