The good song
Reynaldo Hahn
The hard test will end.
My heart, smile at what is to come!
They are finished, the days of alarms,
when I was sad to the point of tears!
I have killed the bitter words,
and banished the dark fantasies!
My eyes, exiled from the sight of her
by a painful duty,
My ear, avid to hear
the golden notes of her tender voice,
all my being and all my love
hail the happy day
when, my only dream and my only thought,
my fiancée will return to me!
