I am deeply sorry
To have to tell you
That my love is dying
Like an ember
And little by little
It's left without light
I know you are dying
Like a pale candle
And I know that you love me
That I am your passion
And that in this life
I have been your cross to bear
Oh, love, don't love me so
Oh, love, don't suffer more because of me
If I can only cause you pain
Oh, love, forget about me
It grieves me that you continue to suffer
Your desperate love
I wish you would find
Again another love
Another person who could give you the happiness
That I haven't been able to give you
I wish I could distance myself from you
So as never to return
Oh, love, don't love me so
Oh, love, don't suffer more because of me
If I can only cause you pain
Oh, love, forget about me
