Apelo [English translation]

Oh, my love don't leave

See how life cries, see how sad this song is

No, I ask of you, don't be absent

Because the pain you now feel, only forgiveness can forget

Oh, my love forgive me

Although even now the sadness I caused still pains you

I beg you don't destroy so much of what is yours

For an evil I already paid

Oh, my love, if you knew

Of the sadness that is in prayers

That in crying I address to you

If you knew in a moment every regret

How everything saddened

If you knew how it is joyless

Realizing you left

Without as much as a goodbye

Oh, my love you'd be back

And again would fall

Crying in my arms

Suddenly from laughter comes weeping

Silent and white like mist

And from joined mouths comes foam

And from outstreched hands comes fright*

Suddenly from calm comes the storm,

That two eyes undo the last flame,

And from passion comes foreboding

And from idle moments comes drama

Suddenly, nothing more than suddenly

Make of sadness what had been made of love

And of loneliness what had been made in contentment

Make of close friend, or distant,

Make of life an errant adventure

Suddenly and nothing more than suddenly

Oh, my love you'd be back

And again would fall

Crying in my arms

Oh, my love you'd be back

And again would fall

Crying in my arms
