Our translations: ENG
Depuis que nul rayon de tes yeux bien-aimés N'arrive plus aux miens obstinément fermés, Je suis enveloppé de ténèbres morales. L'étoile de l'amour s'est éteinte pour moi Plus de douce clarté, rien que l'ombre et l'effroi! Un gouffre large ouvert me veut dans ses spirales Nuit éternelle engloutis-moi!
