If I could, my love,
I would give you everything I see—
but I can only give you what I have—
and unfortunately that is not a lot.
If you would be my love,
I would like to be a great man—
to be able to love you like a queen—
but unfortunately things are what they are.
If you would be my love—
in order not to waste this, your life,
I should leave and tell you goodbye—
but unfortunately I am not that nice.
