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.

Shadow of my beloved
Language: English  after the French (Français)
Shadow of my beloved, always moaning,
Alas! What do you wish? I'm dying.
Pay attention for a moment
to the report of my intense pains.
Here at this fatal bank
I've seen your blood flowing with my tears.
Nothing can stop my escaping soul,
I'm giving in to my cruel misfortunes.
Shadow of my beloved, always moaning,
alas! What do you wish? I'm dying.
