Ombre de mon amant
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG GER
Ombre de mon amant, ombre toujours plaintive,
Hélas ! que voulez-vous ! je meurs.
Soyez un moment attentive
Au funeste récit de mes vives douleurs.
C'est sur cette fatale rive
Que j'ay veu vostre sang couler avec mes pleurs.
Rien ne peut arrester mon ame fugitive,
Je cède à mes cruels malheurs.
Ombre de mon amant, ombre toujours plaintive,
Hélas ! que voulez-vous ? je meurs.

Schatten meines Geliebten
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français)
Schatten meines Geliebten, Schatten stets klagend,
Oh weh! Was wollt ihr? Ich sterbe.
Seid einen Augenblick lang aufmerksam
(hört) den Bericht von meinen starken Schmerzen.
Hier an diesem todbringenden Ufer
habe ich Euer Blut fließen sehen mit meinen Klagen.
Nichts kann meine fliehende Seele festhalten,
ich weiche meinem grausamen Unglück.
Schatten meines Geliebten, immer klagender Schatten,
oh weh! Was wollt Ihr? Ich sterbe.
