Seul sur la terre
Language: French (Français)
Seul sur la terre,
dans ma misère,
je n'ai plus rien!
Amour céleste,
qui seul me reste,
est mon soutien!
Oui, lui seul ranime mon âme;
dans le destin qui m'accable et m'abat,
il ne me reste rien que l'amour d'une femme,
(avec énergie)
et le coeur d'un soldat!

Alone on the earth
Language: English after the French (Français)
Alone on the earth,
I have nothing else
in my wretchedness.
The love of heaven
is my sole support,
all that remains to me.
Yes, it alone revives my soul
in my destiny that overwhelms and persecutes me;
there remains nothing to me
than the love of a woman,
(with energy)
and the heart of a soldier!
