Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG
Seul sur la terre, dans ma misère, je n'ai plus rien! Amour céleste, qui seul me reste, est mon soutien! Oui, lui seul ranime mon âme; dans le destin qui m'accable et m'abat, il ne me reste rien que l'amour d'une femme, (avec énergie) et le coeur d'un soldat!
