While watching you go away,
I lay down and wept, not prayed,
for I believe in no gods anymore
but ourselves.
E pensando di lei
Mi sopragiunse un soave sonno
Thinking of you,
a gentle sleep overtook me,
and with it a nightmare grabbed me,
filled with memories,
that wound as they are only memories,
the ghost of your perfume,
I cannot grasp.
Ego dominus tuus
Am I?
Vide cor tuum
“Look upon your heart,”
you say, even as you leave.
E d’esto cor ardendo
In the hand of Love,
my heart it burns,
the sound of sparks in the air …
Cor tuum
Umilmente pascea
yes, my heart …
broken, shattered,
devoured from within.
Appresso gir lo ne vedea piangendo
I weep.
I descend into the deepest chamber
of my sorrow.
Without you,
I remain where you left me.
My body becomes the earth
beneath its own weight.
La letizia si convertia in amarissimo pianto
Joy turns
into the bitterest tears.
Io sono in pace
Are you? …
Cor meum
My heart,
my fallen, burning heart.
Io sono in pace
I know you are …
Vide cor meum
Please turn back
and look upon my heart once more
as your silhouette fades.
