May my father ransom you! Why has a phantom shunned me—
May my father be your ransom! Why has a phantom shunned me—
your phantom, in which I once found solace?
One of yours, in which I used to find comfort?

Guide me to your phantom, so that
Guide me to your phantom, so that
I may reclaim from it my soul, which it owes me.
I may claim from it a promised meeting it owes me.
