You ask that I forget you?
You can advise me to give myself to her?
And this while yet I live?

Ah no! My life would be far worse than death!
Let death come, I await it fearlessly.
But how could I attempt to warm myself to another flame,

To lavish my affections on another?
Ah! I should die of grief!


Fear nothing, my beloved,
My heart will always be yours.
I can no longer suffer such distress,

My spirit fails me.
You sigh? O mournful sorrow!
Just think what a moment this is!

O God! I cannot express myself.
Barbarous stars, pitiless stars,
Why are you so stern?

Fair souls who see
My sufferings at such a moment,
Tell me if a faithful heart

Could suffer such torment?
