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!

Since no ray from your beloved eyes
Language: English  after the French (Français)
Since no ray from your beloved eyes
Will ever again arrive at mine, so obstinately closed,
I am enveloped in dark morals.
The stars of love are put out for me;
No more sweet light -- nothing but shadows and dread!
A large abyss wants me in its spirals.
Eternal night, devour me!
