Save only the expectation that I'll die
 (Sung text translation for setting by M. Pipelare)
 See original
Language: English  after the French (Français) 
Save only the expectation that I'll die,
In my weary heart no hope remains;
For my misfortune troubles me so sorely
That there is no grief I do not suffer because of you
Since I am utterly certain to lose you.
