The Forsaken Woman

Reynaldo Hahn

Ah! I did not know that it could be sweet to me,

After so many days of misery,

To remember you again and speak of you

As a sister would of a brother!

Everything separated us and everything now reunites us,

My thought is your thought...

A feeling of peace that nothing defines

Comes to visit the forsaken one!

We are loved and we love again,

That is the best of ourselves...

And whatever blows are dealt to us by fate,

I love you and I know that you love me!
