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!
