I have just figured out how to put letters with umlauts and accents in a tag! Good, I needed that superpower ability.

"Ach, ich liebte," Konstanze's aria from Mozart's opera Die Entführung aus dem Serail (The Abduction from the Seraglio).


Ach, ich liebte, war so glücklich,Ah, I was in love, I was so happy,
kannte nicht der Liebe Schmerz,I knew nothing of love's pain;
schwur ihm Treue, dem Geliebten,I swore constancy to him, my beloved,
gab dahin mein ganzes Herz.there I gave all my heart.
Doch wie schnell schwand meine Freude!Yet how quickly my joy faded!
Trennung war mein banges Loos,Separation was my anxious fate,
und nun schwimmt mein Aug' in Thränen!and now my eyes swim with tears!
Kummer ruht in meinem Schoos.Grief rests in my breast.
