English text
- Where shall the lover rest,
- Whom the fates sever
- From his true maiden's breast,
- Parted for ever?
- Where, through groves deep and high,
- Sounds the far billow,
- Where early violets die,
- Under the willow.
- CHORUS.
- Eleu loro, Soft shall be his pillow.
- There, through the summer day,
- Cool streams are laving;
- There, while the tempests sway,
- Scarce are boughs waving;
- There, thy rest shalt thou take,
- Parted for ever,
- Never again to wake,
- Never, O never!
- CHORUS.
- Eleu loro, Never, O never!
- Where shall the traitor rest,
- He the deceiver,
- Who could win maiden's breast,
- Ruin, and leave her ?
- In the lost battle,
- Borne down by the flying,
- Where ingles wars rattle,
- With groans of the dying;
- CHORUS.
- Eleu loro, There shall he be lying!
- Her wing shall the eagle flap,
- O'er the false hearted,
- This warm blood the wolf shall lap,
- E're life be parted.
- Shame and dishonor sit
- By his grave ever,
- Blessing shall hallow it
- Never, O never !
- CHORUS.
- Eleu loro, Never, O never !
