lyrics

Meanwhile, the house-boy, Catalin
Sly, and who often jests
When he's filling with wine the cups
Of the banqueting guests.
A page that carries step by step
The trail of the Queen's gown,
A wandering bastard, but bold,
Like no one in the town.
His little cheek-a peony
That under the sun stews.
Watchful, just like a thief, he sneaks
In Catalina's views.

"How beautiful she grew"
Thinks he.
A flower just to pluck!
Now, Catalin, but now it is
Thy chance to try luck.

And by the way, hurriedly he
Corners that human fay:

What's with thee, Catalin!
Let me alone and go thy way!"

"No! I want thee to stay away
From thoughts that have no,
Have no fun at all."

"Give me a kiss, just one!"
"I want to see you only laugh.

"I don't know, I could show
And, believe me, retire!
But for one, Lucifer,
From up I've kept my strong desire!"

"Thou art a child! Let's go!"
"Through new lands our own fate"
"Let' s frame, we shall be both wise,"
"And forgot our name!"
"Glad, and whole, I understand no more"
"Glad, and whole"
"Forgot even our name!"
“Thou wouldst not long for thy kin."

"Nor yearn for Lucifers!"
