Lyrics & English Translation
The night, deep and dark,
reigned in the silence...
A pale ray from the gloomy moon
shone on the fountain...
When a low sigh
was heard throughout the air;
and there on the fountain's edge
the shadow appeared to me!
Ah!
Her lips moved
as if speaking,
and with her lifeless hand
she seemed to call me.
She stood there, motionless,
then she suddenly disappeared.
And the water, earlier so limpid,
became as red as the blood.

I send my kind and warm regards,
