LE COMTEFaut-il donc savoir tant de choses?
Que deviennent les plus beaux jours?
Où vont les premiers amours?
Où vole le parfum des roses?
MANON
à part
Mon Dieu! Donnez-moi le courage
de tout oser lui demander! etc.
LE COMTE
Ignorer n'est-il plus sage,
au passé pourquoi s'attarder?
English Libretto or Translation:
COUNTMust you know so many things?
Such as what becomes of our fairest days,
where our first loves go?
Where the perfume of roses escapes to?
MANON
aside
My God! Give me the courage
to dare ask him everything! etc.
COUNT
Is it not wiser not to know,
why linger over the past?
