Favola Breve

I belong to him
Although life is ashamed of me
Today, at last I know
who I am...

I belong to him
Please
Vain spirit, that leads me crying
Vain spirit, that nevertheless
know how to sing

Rid me of my changing thought
That I belong to no-one but him
That I belonged to no-one but him
And that I live only for him

Where to gather my sighs?
Where, in the sky?
I'd like to run away...

I belong to him
I cannot find peace
And death laughs at me
Not even my dreams fulfil me anymore
I am consumed...
I belong to him
