Language: Spanish (Español)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE ITA
¡Oh muerte cruel!
¿Por qué tú, a traición,
mi majo arrebataste a mi pasión?
¡No quiero vivir sin él,
porque es morir, porque es morir
así vivir!
No es posible ya
sentir más dolor:
en lágrimas deshecha ya mi alma está.
¡Oh Dios, torna mi amor,
porque es morir, porque es morir
así vivir!

La femme affligée no. 1
Language: French (Français)  after the Spanish (Español)
Oh, mort cruelle !
Pourquoi as-tu, traîtreusement,
Volé mon amour à moi ?
Je ne veux pas vivre sans lui,
Parce que c'est mourir, c'est mourir
De vivre ainsi !
Ce n'est pas possible
De ressentir plus de douleur :
Mon âme se dessèche en larmes.
Ô dieu, renvoie mon amour,
Parce que c'est mourir, c'est mourir
De vivre ainsi !
