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
