Depuis le jour, Louise's aria from Louse

Depuis le jour où je me suis donnée, 		Since the day I gave myself,
toute fleurie semble ma destinée. 		my fate seems all in flower.
Je crois rêver sous un ciel de féerie, 		I seem to be dreaming beneath a fairy sky,
l'âme encore grisée				my soul still enraptured
de ton premier baiser! 				by that very first kiss!
Quelle belle vie! 				What a wonderful life!
Mon rêve n'était pas un rêve!			My dream was not a dream!
Ah! je suis heureuse!				Oh! I am so happy!
L'amour étend sur moi ses ailes!		Love spreads its wings over me!
Au jardin de mon coeur 				In the garden of my heart
chante une joie nouvelle!			a new joy sings!
Tout vibre, 					Everything resonates, 
tout se réjouit de mon triomphe!		everything rejoices in my triumph!
Autour de moi tout est sourire, 		About me all is smiles,
lumiére et joie!				light and happiness!
Et je tremble délicieusement			And I tremble deliciously
Au souvenir charmant				at the delightful memory
Du premier jour					of the first day 
D'amour!					of love!
Quelle belle vie!				What a glorious life! 
Ah! je suis heureuse! trop heureuse...		Oh, how happy I am!  Too happy!...
Et je tremble délicieusement			And I tremble deliciously
Au souvenir charmant				at the delightful memory
Du premier jour					of the first day 
D'amour!					of love!
