Lyrics & English Translation
Here his soft voice
called me...and then vanished.
here he swore to be faithful,
this he was vowing,
and then cruelly fled from me!
Oh! No longer to be joined together
in the joy of sighing.
Oh, return my hope
or let me die.
Come, beloved, the moon is in the sky!
everything is quiet around us;
until day breaks in the sky,
come and alight upon my heart!
Hurry up, oh, my Arthur,
return, my dear, to your Elvira:
she cries and sighs for you,
come, my dear, to love...
