 English translation

Desperate fate,
iniquitous and maledicted
who blackened the good name
of a woman beyond compare.

O relentless death
inimical and cruel
that abased her,
who stood higher than the stars,
in this way.

All alone and in despair
I can do nothing else than weep
and I desire my sorrow
to come to an end.

German translation

Verzweifeltes Schicksal,
widerwärtig und verflucht
das den guten Namen
einer hervorragenden Frau verdunkelt hat.

O erbarmungsloser Tod,
feindlich und grausam,
der du sie, die höher als die Sterne stand,
so erniedrigt hast.

Einsam und verzweifelt
kann ich nicht anders als weinen,
und ich sehne mich nach dem Ende
meines Kummers.
