Songtext von Leonora (translation)

Oh light What brightness... Will illuminate my nights? What place is this? I know not.., Whether i am dead Whether i dream Or whether i live, Stay, oh light! Ah, i tremblel Desires Desires and mad thoughts Mad thoughts i raise them all to heaven, , Desires..,i raise.., May my prison be sweeter May it be sweet May it be sweeter ! Be silent' Be silentl Oh' Torment' i hide my tears and my sighs i hide my tears and my sighs But i am bereft of you! And i was yours' Leonora? Full of neglect? For my soul, 'tis the night! Is it me? But what is this wind Which suddenly grips me This cold wind which freezes the hillside Oh eternal abyss ! Stay, oh Peace' Ah! i tremble!
