1. The youth has withered and folded away
And freed itself from its sorrows

2. But I face the tomorrow
O you of the remnants of its cup

3. The memories returned to me
With their crowds and congestion

4. On a dark night I saw
A painful darkness afflicted me

5. Her love letters calmed down
Like a child in its dreams

6. So I swore not to sleep nor
Taste any of its slumber

7. I lit the fire in it to wan
der in the rubble of its treasure

8. To assassinate the story of our love
From its beginning to its end

9. I burned it and threw my heart
In the midst of its embers

10. And the human ashes cried
Over the ashes of its passion
