English translation (duet only):

L: Thick dome of jasmine
M: Under the dense canopy where the white jasmine,

L:Blends with the rose,
M: That blends with the rose,

L:Bank in bloom, fresh morning,
M: On the flowering bank, laughing in the morning,

L: Call us together.
M: Come, let us drift down together.

L: Ah! Let's glide along
M: Let us gently glide along; For its enchanting flow

L: The fleeing current;
M: Let us follow the fleeing current;

L: On the rippling surface,
M: On the rippling surface,

L: With a nonchalant hand,
M: With a nonchalant hand,

L: Let's go to the shore,
M: Come, let's go to the shore

L: Where the bird sings,
M: Where the spring sleeps.

L: the bird, the bird sings.
M: And the bird, the bird sings.

L: Thick dome, white jasmine,
M: Under the dense canopy, Under the white jasmine,

L: Call us together!
M: Ah! Let's drift down together!
