Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

MÉPHISTOPHÉLÈS
Alerte! alerte! ou vous êtes perdus!
Si vous tardez encor je ne m'en mêle plus!

MARGUERITE
Le démon! le démon! - Le vois-tu? ... là ... dans lombre
Fixant sur nous son œil de feu!
Que nous veut-il? - Chasse le du saint lieu!

MÉPHISTOPHÉLÈS
Quittons ce lieu sombre!
Le jour est levé
De leur pied sonore
J'entends nos chevaux frapper le pavé!
cherchant à entraîner Faust.
Viens! sauvons-la! Peut'être il en est temps encore.

MARGUERITE
Mon Dieu, protégez-moi!
Mon Dieu, je vous implore !

FAUST
Viens, fuyons!
Peut-être en est-il temps encore!

English Libretto or Translation:

MEPHISTOPHELES
Take care, or you are lost!
If you tarry any longer, I shall give you up!

MARGUERITE
The devil, the devil! Can you see him, there, in the dark!
Staring at us with his eyes of fire!
What does he want with us?
Drive him from the holy place!

MEPHISTOPHELES
Let us leave this dark spot!
It is daybreak;
I can hear our horses
Rap on the cobblestones with their noisy feet!
He tries to drag Faust away.
Come! Let us save her!
We may still have time!

MARGUERITE
Dear God, protect me!
Dear God, I beseech you!

FAUST
Come! Let us flee!
We may still have time!
