Felitsa
Yanni Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ou le blanc jasmin
A la rose sÕassemble
Sur la rive en fleurs
Riant au matin
Viens, descendons ensemble.
Doucement glissons
Suivons le courant
Fuyant; Dans
LÕonde fremissante
DÕune main nonchalante
Viens, gagnons le bord
Ou la souree dort
Et lÕoiseau
LÕoiseau chante
Sous le dome epais
Sous le blanc jasmin
Ah, descendons ensemble
The lyrics are a French adaptation of a duet from the opera Lakmé by composer Léo Delibes. The song is titled "Sous le dôme épais" which translates to "Under the thick dome" or "Under the arbor." In Yanni's rendition, the lyrics are simplified and set to a modern instrumental arrangement. The lyrics describe an idyllic scene, where jasmine and roses come together on a flowery bank, while a river flows smoothly, echoing with the sounds of birdsongs. The singer invites someone to join them in descending to the idyllic river.
The lyrics are highly symbolic of nature, with white jasmine and roses symbolizing purity and love, while the river represents the passage of time, always moving forward. The singer invites the listener to join them, urging them not to be hasty and to descend slowly, following the river's tranquil course. The lyrics can be interpreted to mean that the beauty of nature is always present around us, and if we take the time to appreciate it, we can find peace and happiness in its serenity.
