J'ai perdu mon Euridice, Orphée's aria from Orphée et Euridice

J'ai perdu mon Euridice
rien n'égale mon malheur
sort cruel! quelle rigueur!
rien n'égale mon malheur!
Je succombe à ma doleur.
Euridice, Euridice,
réponds, quel supplice,
réponds-moi!
C'et ton époux fidèle
entends ma voix qui t'appelle!

J'ai perdu mon Euridice
rien n'égale mon malheur
sort cruel! quelle rigueur!
rien n'égale mon malheur!
Je succombe à ma doleur.
Euridice, Euridice,
réponds, quel supplice,
réponds-moi!
Mortel silence! Vaine espérance!
Quell soffrance!
Quel tourment déchire mon coeur!

J'ai perdu mon Euridice
rien n'égale mon malheur
sort cruel! quelle rigueur!
rien n'égale mon malheur!
Je succombe à ma doleur.
