Fyre, fyre! My heart!

O, help! Alas, O, help! Ay me!
I sit and cry me,
and call for help,
alas, but none comes nigh me.
Fa la la la.

O, I burn me, alas!
Fa la la la.
I burn, alas, I burn! Ah me!
Will none come quench me?
O cast, cast water on,
alas, and drench me!

German.png German translation

Feuer! Feuer! Wild entflammt brennt mein Herz.
Fa la la la.
So helft! Ach, helft!
Weh mir, ich trage alle Qualen
und suche Rettung,
doch niemand steht mir bei.
Fa la la la.

Ich verbrenne! Erbarmen!
Fa la la la.
Weh mir, ich verglühe!
Wer eilt herbei und löscht den Brand?
Schöpft Wasser aus den Fluten
und schwemmt mein Leid davon.
Fa la la la.

Italian.png Italian translation

Al fuoco, al fuoco, mio cuore!
Fa la la la.
Oh aiuto, ahimè, oh aiuto! Ohimè!
Mi siedo e piango
E chiedo aiuto, ahimè,
ma nessuno viene da me!
Fa la la la.

Oh, mi brucio, ahimè!
Fa la la la.
Io brucio, ahimè, brucio! Ohimè!
Nessuno verrà a spegnermi?
Oh getta, getta acqua sopra,
ahimè, e bagnami tutto!
Fa la la la.
