Kardia paraponiara [English translation]

What heavy and unbearable sorrow,

Is burdening you?

My grieving,

And inconsolable heart?1

In this heartless,

And lying world,

Why should you have to waste away,

From all this grieving?

Who has treated you unfairly,

And who has fooled you?

Speak, my heart

And smile

1. Actually talking to his heart
