2. Nunca olvida...

(Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español)

Ya que este mundo abandono,
Ántes de dar cuenta á Dios,
Aquí para entre los dos,
Mi confesion te diré:
-- Con toda el alma perdono
Hasta á los que siempre he odiado;
¡Á tí, que tanto te he amado,
Nunca te perdonaré!

2. Vergiss es nicht …

Language: German (Deutsch)

Da ich aus dieser Welt nun werde gehen,
möcht ich, bevor ich mich vor Gott erkläre,
an diesem Ort, ganz unter uns 
dir beichtend dies gestehen:
Aus tiefstem Herzen sei gar jenen
vergeben, die ich stets gehasst.
Doch dir, die du mein Alles warst,
werd ich niemals vergeben.

(Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español)

Al comenzar la noche de aquel día,
  ella, lejos de mí,
-- ¿Por qué te acercas tanto? -- Me decía;

-- ¿Por qué te alejas tanto de mi lado?
    ¡Tengo miedo sin tí! --

4. Die beiden Ängste

Language: German (Deutsch)

Als es ward Nacht an jenem Tag,
und sie noch fern von mir -
sprach sie „Warum kommst du mir denn so nah?
Ich habe Angst vor dir!“

Und als die Nacht dann war vergangen,
mir nah, beschwor sie mich,
„Bleib hier. Sollst weiter mich umfangen.
Angst hab ich ohne dich!“

5. Verrückt vor Liebe

Language: German (Deutsch)

Falls du, Venus, dieses willst, dann lieb ich dich,
lieb nüchtern dich und dies in Ewigkeit.
Da widersetzt die Liebesgöttin sich:
Wie alle Frauen hätt’ viel lieber ich,
dass man mich leidenschaftlich liebt für kurze Zeit.¹
