Oh Teresa!
Like lightning those sweet youthful dreams flew by, sinking into my sea of endless grief; the flower of my hope, my light, my illusion— drowned there in waves of pain and disbelief. But time, that cruel, unfeeling executioner, tears the beloved bloom from the heart; though my soul wastes away in mourning black, your memory clings, refusing to depart. Oh Teresa! Oh sorrow! My tears fall forever— I’ve lost you for all time! Oh Teresa! Oh memory! Oh wild dream! Oh love! Oh death! Oh heaven! Oh my doom! Oh Teresa! Oh sorrow! My tears fall forever— I’ve lost you for all time! Oh Teresa! Oh memory! Oh wild dream! Oh love! Oh death! Oh heaven! Oh my doom! Rest in peace… yet ah! In my soul you live on, eternal ache that never fades away; though the world buries you in cold oblivion, I love you still—in my own private hell, I stay. Oh Teresa! Oh sorrow! My tears fall forever— I’ve lost you for all time! Oh Teresa! Oh memory! Oh wild dream! Oh love! Oh death! Oh heaven! Oh my doom! Oh Teresa! Oh sorrow! My tears fall forever— I’ve lost you for all time! Oh Teresa! Oh memory! Oh wild dream! Oh love! Oh death! Oh heaven! Oh my doom!
