Decent Version but with spelling flaws

I purchased this piece as I will be singing the duet in a concert this year. Its a good version however, there are a few mistakes -
In Lakmes opening (at the end of her solo line); printed in this version is "éveillé par le chant des OI-TA tapageurs". This is incorrect - the phrase is "éveillé par le chant des OISEUX tapageurs".
Also for Lakme in the first duet section - the phrase "NOUS appellent" is misprinted as "MOUS appellent" (it is correct in the 2nd section).
For Mallika in the 1st section - printed is "Oo la source dort" - the correct phrase is "Où la source dort" (it is correct in the 2nd section).
And finally for Lakme in the 2nd duet section - written is "frais metin" the correct phrase is "frais MATIN".
While these seem like minor issues; singing the wrong word changes the phrasing and the meaning, so it is rather important to know the mistakes and corrections.
