*The Aria sung by the character of Arline in the opera The Bohemian Girl
I dreamt I dwelt in marbled halls, With vassals an d serf sat my side, And all whom assembled within those walls, That I was the hope an d the pride. I hold riches so hot great to count, and a high ancestral name; Bu t I also dream twhich pleasedmemost, That you lov'd me still the same...
That you lov'd me, you lov'd me still the same, That you lov'd me, you lov'd me still the same. I dreamt that suitors sought my hand; That knights upon bended knee, And with vows no maiden s heart could withstand, They pledg'd their faith to me;
And I dreamt that one of that noble host Came forth my hand to claim. But I also dreamt which charmed me most, That you lov'd me still the same... That you lov'd me, you lov'd me still the same, That you lov'd me, you lov'd me still the same.
