Since another has pleased you

Since another has pleased you

Each day is witness to my fading away.

When Malvina is no longer dear to you,

Malvina only wants to die.

Still her weak voice implores you,

Not to reclaim your love, no no no,

But before her days should end

To see you once again,

Before her days should end to see you,

See you, oh! see you once again.

Hurry, death comes closer;

Come to see the one who adored you

Dying on her love-sick bed,

Of shame and regret.

But it is not her agony

Nor death marked on her face,

No no no...

Ah! None of these will ever tell you

That Malvina will loose her life forever,

Forever, forever Malvina,

Malvina will loose her life forever.

But so languid, downcast,

I can no longer count your steps,

When you will appear before my eyes,

If whole my body does not quiver,

If my eyes cannot follow you,

If my voice cannot call you,

Ah! if my heart has ceased to love,

Then I will have ceased to live.

If my heart has ceased to love,

Then I will have ceased to live.
