O malheureuse Iphigénie, Iphigénie's aria from Iphigénie en Tauride

O malheureuse Iphigénie,	Oh, miserable Iphigenia,
ta famille est anéantie!     	your family has been destroyed.
Vous n'avez plus de rois;	You, my people, have no more kings;
je n'ai plus de parents.	and I have no more kin.
Mêlez vos cris plaintiffs	Mingle your plaintive cries
à mes gémissements.		with my endless lament.
Vous n'avez plus de rois	You have no more kings;
Je n'ai plus de parents.	and I have no more kin.
