Орландина [Orlandina] [English translation]

I went for a walk at midnight

I was walking through a dark alley,

Suddenly I saw a maiden standing in a nook and crying.

"Where, - I said - I saw you?

Tell me who offended you?

Have forgotten you, you are Orlandina,

You are my destiny.

Tell me it's true, because I recognized you."

"Yes, it's me!

Yes, my name is Orlandina

Yes, Orlandina, Orlandina

Know - Orlandina is my name!

Where did you see me?!

You know, it was you who offended me,

You have forgotten me.

But for you I will forget my tears,

I will go with you if you will call me,

I will be yours."

"Oh, how I want to hug you,

To kiss a sleeve of your dress.

Come, come into my arms!"

And right in this moment

Fur covered maid's forehead,

The eyes became red, the voice - bird's,

And the face - wolfish.

The monster grasped me

And voluptuously emit a disgustful bawl:

"You see, I'm not Orlandina

Yes, I'm already not Orlandina

Yes, I'm already not Orlandina

I am Lucifer!

See? Now you are in my paws.

Do you feel an awful sulfuric smell

And hum of fire." -

He yelled that when he thrusted

His ancient copper tooth in my poor forehead...

Satan himself! Satan himself...
