El Testament d'Amèlia [English translation]

Narrator:

Amelia is sick

The daughter of the good king

Counts come to see her

Counts and noble people

Amelia:

Oh, my heart is knotted up!

Like a bunch of carnations...

Stepmother:

Daughter, o my daughter

What is that you are suffering from?

Amelia:

You know very well, mother

What I'm suffering from.

Oh, my heart is knotted up!

Like a bunch of carnations...

Stepmother:

Daughter, o my daughter

You should confess

After you've confessed

You'll make your will

Amelia:

Oh, my heart is knotted up!

Like a bunch of carnations...

I leave a castle to the poor

So they may pray to God (for me)

Four castle to my brother Carlos

Two to the Holy Mother

Oh, my heart is knotted up!

Like a bunch of carnations...

And to you, o mother

I leave my husband

You may take him in your bedroom

As you've been doing for a long time

Oh, my heart is knotted up!

Like a bunch of carnations...
