Io l'ho perduta

English Libretto or Translation:

I lost her!
O great God! another man...
and he's my father... another man...
and he's the King,
he has taken away from me my beloved,
my fiancée!
Ah, how pure and beautiful was the day,
the day with no tomorrow,
when drunk with hope
we could wander,in the shadow,
together, undisturbed,
on the sweet soil of France,
in the forest of Fontainebleau!
I saw her, and her smile
opened up a new paradise to me!
Ah, now for ever parted
from that soul by a father and a King!
No happy days there shall be
in my sadly dawning life...
you robbed me, enchantress,
of my heart, my hope, my dreams, my love,
