Joy I never lost, come to me, my truest love. Evening fills the path, be my light and day. Our two hearts beat anxiously. Hope ascends up to heaven. It’s true: the saddest song, the song of truest love, it soon must die. [missing line sung by soprano] I know that song. I heard it oft in former, in former, in happier days. (It has another verse- Do I still know it?) Should gloom trouble you, come to me, my truest love. Lift up your ashen face: no death separates us. But if you must leave someday, trust, there will be an afterlife. (English translation for vocal performance)
