Original text and translations

English text

Twilight's fad’d, and darkness fall'n
Her soul sought rest, in love's sweet thrall
Flowed tears sowed, first gardens of pain
But Amor bloomed, and healed again
Falalala!

Forget woeful fate, for love is true
And in its embrace, our hearts made anew
Sing we and chant it, remember her prayer
For Amor's fire, forever we'll share
Falalala!
