I woke up cold and hungry by day, remembering only
Yesterday he stole me from my family estate.
Locked in this tower now I know there's no escape.
So I'm crying, come to listen to my piano play.
I hadn't asked but he said: "Well,
A hundred years was just like hell!
Without a wife and dear friend
I lived as a doomed lonely man"!
"Wait here meekly for a while
Something will happen in the night" -
Such an artfully he smiled! -
" That will be exactly what you’ll like”
Holy hatred guides my hand
Slapped him over the face
"I'm neither a doll, nor your bondmaid," -
I screamed in wrath and pushed him away
"Don't get me wrong!" - Pale face was near!
He whispered right into my ear.
Cheek burnt from tender touch of lips.
And with that kiss I fell asleep.
While three nights I couldn’t get up
Satisfied in crystal clear delusions
I now where it is going. It’s no good
But I’m no longer crying, I wouldn’t!
At last he brought a goblet with
Crimson-colored liquid
The wine was strange I greedily gulped
It's terrible! I drank the blood!
Drinking of somebody's blood
It's a sin! Forgive me God!
But it tastes so really nice!
So I thought lying here, dying.
And my life was just one dream,
Broken by his sharpened teeth,
But neither I feel grief nor scare,
For his blood runs in my veins.
Another dream I see this eve
Where you're among the orchard trees.
Yet, I agree to play for you
This old piano sounds out of tune
