Ah, give me hope again,
or let me die!
Here his gentle voice
once called me,
then it vanished.
Here he swore his faithfulness to me ...
Here he swore,
before he cruelly ...
left me.
Ah, never again
to be here together ...
together in sighs of joy!
Ah, give me hope again,
or let me die!
Come, beloved, the moon is high,
all is silent about us.
Until day breaks in the sky,
come, come ...
rest upon my heart.
Ah, make haste, my Arturo,
return, my dear, return to your Elvira.
She weeps and longs for you. Return, my dear,
return to your first love.
Come, beloved, the moon is high,
all is silent about us ...
