Dozivotna [English translation]

In vain the years waste away

the old and the new ones that come

in vain do I speak your name

on my lips

In vain are the songs

for you that are written

and all the guitars

on which they are sung

Ref. 2x

Of course, I'd rather not be alive

May they sentence me to life

when at the same time I hate you

but in truth I still love you

Forever you stay

as my curse, my prayer

indeed, wherever I go

you will be there in my thoughts

My shoes grow older on

every town on earth upon which they walk

yes even to America

of course, I wouldn't find you there

Ref.
