Yes, only to you, my God | |||
I want to turn now | |||
In you I want to hope, | |||
Let me finally begin a better life. | |||
Give me back that joyous freedom | |||
That until now I have so rashly disdained. | |||
Ah! Not yet. | |||
What are you saying? | |||
What are you saying, guilty soul? | |||
So you dislike the good that you crave? | |||
Do you fear that your God is too prompt in | |||
wanting to pull you back out | |||
of such a horrific abyss? | |||
Eternal misery or happiness? | |||
It is in your hand, and you cannot choose? | |||
Ah! it is too bitter | |||
To abandon forever that | |||
Which appears to be the sole and supreme good | |||
A miserable life will I lead | |||
without you, the sweet affections of my heart. | |||
May I abandon you? Abandon you? | |||
Oh no! | |||
But do I not fear my God's disdain? | |||
Do I forget his love? | |||
He offers me forgiveness; I do not care, | |||
He suffered so much for me, | |||
Yet I would not suffer for his sake? | |||
Yes, yes, no more doubts! | |||
I believe; this soul is already convinced, | |||
It heard the voice of heaven's spur | |||
O alas! the soul is convinced | |||
and the heart is opposed. | |||

Remorse weighs down the heart | |||
The heart loves its crime | |||
I am doubtful and I am distressed | |||
