Je suis Titania,  Philine's aria from Mignon

Je suis Titania la blonde,
Je suis Titania, fille de l'air,
En riant je parcours le monde,
Plus vive que l'oiseau, 
Plus prompte que l'éclair!

La troupe folle des lutins
Suit mon char qui vole et dans la nuit 
Fuit!  
Autour de moi toute ma cour 
Court, 
Chantant le plaisir et l'amour.
La troupe folle des lutins
Suit mon char qui vole et dans la nuit 
Fuit,
Au rayon de Phoebé qui luit!
Parmi les fleurs que l'aurore
Fait éclore,
Par les bois et par les prés
Diaprés,
Sur les flots couverts d'écume,
Dans la brume,
On me voit d'un pied léger
Voltiger!
