Translation

Ephemeral Love

My heart shudders

And clouds hang over me

To your love it surrenders

Suffering and tears catch me

You burned both soul and shoulders

Alone when you left me

My blood is boiling

Your path leads to madness

Like a tree I am withering

Your love kills me in loneness

You prevented me from flowering

And imprisoned me in darkness

Translation

I Recovered 

I think I have recovered

From your shadow and pain

When my madness is discovered

The cause is your reign

You took all what I preferred

And you left me under the rain

Whenever I close my eyes

I dream of your face

I chose worries and cries

Just to share your place

Since love is spoiled by lies

Sorrow dwells in our space
