MÉPHISTOPHÉLÈS Je ferai de mon mieux - Pour n'ennuyer personne!
MÉPHISTOPHÉLÈS Le veau d'or est toujours debout! On encense Sa puissance, D'un bout du monde à l'autre bout! Pour fêter l'infâme idole Roi et peuples confondus, Au bruit sombre des écus, Dansent une ronde folle Autour de son piédestal!… Et Satan conduit le bal!
CHŒUR Et Satan conduit le bal!
MÉPHISTOPHÉLÈS Le veau d'or est vainquer des dieux! Dans sa gloire Dérisoire Le monstre abjecte insulte aux cieux Il contemple, ô rage étrange! A ses pieds le genre humain Se ruant, le fer en main, Dans le sang et dans la fange Où brille l'ardent métal! Et Satan conduit le bal!
CHŒUR Et Satan conduit le bal!
CHŒUR Merci de ta chanson.
English Libretto or Translation:
MEPHISTOPHELES I shall try my hardest not to bore anyone! The golden calf is still standing, His might Is celebrated From one end of the world to the other! Nations and kings mix together To hail the infamous idol And to the sinister clink of coins They whirl in a frenzied ring Round and round his pedestal! And Satan leads the dance!
ALL And Satan leads the dance!
MEPHISTOPHELES The golden calf triumphs over the gods; Basking in His preposterous glory The base monster insults Heaven! He looks down, ? O strange madness! ? On the human race at his feet Sallying forth, sword in hand, Through blood and filth, Where the burning metal is shining! And Satan leads the dance!
ALL And Satan leads the dance! We thank you for your song!
