What shall I do now?
You have left me, my love,
you have gone.
Once again, I am alone.
I’d give so much, my dove, just to hold you,
tell you how much I love you,
how beautiful you are.
What shall I do now?
Isolation is a fine companion,
I have come to know him well.
It pains me, my love, to know
that I shall never see your smile again,
never hear your laugh.
What shall I do now?
I was careless,
never speaking my feelings to you.
My black heart is shattered,
my soul is has departed.
I have never felt this melancholy,
this broken hearted.
My love, I feel so helpless.
Rancor, desperation, pain, nihilism...
feelings of worthlessness and heartache
fill my shallow life because
of your untimely departure.
My love, I feel so helpless.
Please remember me.
My words are spoken true,
my feelings undistorted.
My love, I’m so sorry.
If I could have just one wish before I die,
it would be to see your smile one last time.
If I could have a second wish before I die,
it would be to touch your golden hair just once.
If I could have a third wish before I die, my love...
it would be to say I love you.
