that your love is out of my reach,
that I lost you long ago.
They laugh when I say, assuredly,
that you will come back to me

They can do what they like with my heart,

four centuries and an eternity can go by
and I will carry on in my lonlieness waiting for you every day.
They can do what they like with me
because I never, never, never will forget you.
