You leave...[Te duci...]
You leave and hurts me when I'm thinking
My eyes won't see you for a while,
They love the glamour of your being,
The way you move, the way you smile.
And it's not mild like a nice story
My love, which gives me so much pain,
Your soul is fiendish and I'm sorry,
Because your face is without stain.
You have a charming pale complexion
And eyes that shine and send out rays,
But they are wet, full of rejection
And flattering and cunning ways.
When touching me I feel the shiver
And when you pass my thrill is rife
On your eyelashes, when they quiver,
Depends my whole entire life.
You leave, but I will not be grieving
For yesterday, I won't despair,
I was successful in relieving
My soul from pains so hard to bear.
My hearing will not be at all dead
When on my mouth you place your kiss,
Your hand will not glide on my forehead
To drive me mad with so much bliss.
Defamatory names, mean, sour,
I could have forged in mind, as such,
I hated you with all my power
And cursed you, for I loved you much.
I will not have this kind of sorrow
And I won't have what else to curse,
Sad like today will be tomorrow,
The coming years will be much worse –
The autumn lags, I have the feeling
That it got stuck on a cold spring,
The leaves above form a dry ceiling –
My dreams lie there with broken wing.
This life is madness and endeavor
It hadn't start, yet took its flight,
In this black night that lasts for ever
Only a wink I hold you tight.
