Erworben,/ Verdorben!
Language: German (Deutsch)
Erworben, Verdorben! Mein Herz ist schwer, Ich bin nicht gestorben Und lebe nicht mehr. Sie haben Begraben, Was stets mir blieb! Begraben sie haben Die Treue und die Lieb'. Ich traute Und baute Auf ihn allein; Dem einzig ich traute, Er musst' Verräter sein. Erworben, Verdorben! Mein Herz ist schwer, Ich bin nicht gestorben Und lebe nicht mehr.

The forsaken maiden
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Confusion! Delusion! My heart is numb; My life is illusion, Yet death will not come. 'Tis vanished And banished, What all was mine! 'Tis banished and vanished, The love I deemed divine. I trusted And lusted To him, my love, And he whom I trusted, Must he a traitor prove? Confusion! Delusion! My heart is numb; My life is illusion, Yet death will not come.
From the Raff score.
