THE GLASS OF FORGETFULNESS .
Composed in 1921.
Waiter! bring another glass
and everyone… the next drink is on me.
because I walk alone and I am very sad
since I discovered the cruel truth!
Waiter! bring another glass
because last night, I saw them together..
I wanted revenge, I wanted to kill her,
but an impulse calmed me.
I went out to the street disconcerted,
without knowing how, I came
to ask the wise men,
to ask them what I should do..
Forget, friend – some will say-,
but forget I cannot ..
And if I kill her, to live without her,
I never could live without her.
Waiter! bring another glass
and everyone… the next drink is on me.
I want to cheer myself up with this wine
to see if the wine makes me forget.
Waiter! bring another glass
and everyone…the next drink is on me.
