«SINGING»
I no longer have the sweetness of his
kisses;
I wander alone through the world
without love.
Another mouth more happy will be the
mistress
of his kisses which used to be all of
my passión.
There are moments when I don’t know
what’s happening to me…
I have urges to laugh and to cry.
I am jealous. — I fear he won’t
return to me.
And I love him — can’t stop, no
matter how I try.
Oh, singing I gave him
all of my heart, my amor.
And since he went away,
I’ve sung out my dolor.
Singing I met him one day,
and singing I lost him…
I don’t know how to cry,
so singing, then, I must die.
Dearest miraculous Virgin, please
pardon me,
if when singing out this song which
is living in me,
I beg you to bring back to me the one
who is mine,
who I lost so quickly and oh so
senselessly.
If it is a sin to love so much in
this wordly life,
I beg of you, down on my knees, your
pardon…
I love him, oh so much and so much
will I then die,
if I can’t have the caresses of his
dear love.
Oh, singing I gave him
all of my heart, my amor.
And since he went away,
I’ve sung out my dolor.
Singing I met him one day,
and singing I lost him…
I don’t know how to cry,
so singing, then, I must die.
