1. I sighed when I saw tears in my eyes
Form a sea that exhausted the swimmer

2. Then she whispered in secret to the ground
If only this young man found peace in death

3. Oh you who are departing, grant respite
To a heart you have wounded with deep sorrows

4. He suppressed his passion to no avail
For his blood disclosed the secrets of his inner pain

5. You took unfair advantage of his weary heart
And stole the comfort of his rest
