I'm going far away so I'll never remember her,
that love that I loved so deeply,
she was the only love in the world
that I always adored with a maddening passion.
I'm going far away, I'm going in hope
of returning into your arms, my dear1,
don't leave me with my heart torn in two,
I swear to love you even if I'm going far away.
You who have been what I've loved most,
don't put such a great punishment on me,
don't be so ungrateful with me,
have a little mercy on my heart.
I carry you image here with me,
every time I look upon it I remember
your love that I lost when I left you,
they are sad memories that I won't forget.
