Who dreams of laurels ? This i am not destined for Who dreams of myrtle ? I turn my back on the world I am assailed by doubt Don´t you remember O desired form ? I am assailed by doubt I no longer hope for pity See my cruel adventure And as here nothing endures Neither light nor new beauty What´s left of our tenuous faith ? Listen, strange sphinx I speak only to tell the truth Listen gentle creature My heart wounds my consciencie Sweet torment Sweet torment Even the world trembles Song of my cruel adventure You know how here nothing endures Neither light nor new beauty What´s left of our tenuous faith ? Song of my cruel adventure You know how here nothing endures Neither light nor new beauty What´s left of our tenuous faith ?
