Lyrics & English Translation

The other night into the sea they cast my child
And now to send me mad they say I drowned her.
The air is cold, the prison is gloomy
And my spirit like a bird in the wood flies, flies away.
Ah, have pity on me.
Into a lethargic slumber my mother fell sleeping
And now the supreme horror they say I poisoned her.
The air is so very cold...
