Once, sorrow was a fleeting guest,
Now your memory, a constant ache,
Now your memory, a constant ache,
Once, sorrow was a fleeting guest.
Now your memory makes my spirit break,
Now your memory makes my spirit break.

Once, sorrow held me in its sway,
But now the pain of parting, every hour,
But now the pain of parting, every hour,
Once, sorrow held me in its sway,
Now the wound of separation, a dark power,
Now the wound of separation, a dark power.

How can I tell you, love, my plea?
That on your memory, I now survive,
That on your memory, I now survive,
How can I tell you, love, my plea?
The tears of sorrow, I imbibe,
The tears of sorrow, I imbibe.
How can I tell you, love, my plea?
Lest your faithlessness should be my doom,
Lest your faithlessness should be my doom,
How can I tell you, love, my plea?
Lest this separation seal my tomb,
Lest this separation seal my tomb.

Oh, mad one, why do you weep so deep?
For the sorrow of parting, mine to bear,
For the sorrow of parting, mine to bear,
Oh, mad one, why do you weep so deep?
For you, the music of a festive air,
For you, the music of a festive air.
Oh, mad one, why do you weep so deep?
To leave this village, my destined plight,
To leave this village, my destined plight,
Oh, mad one, why do you weep so deep?
My life to pass in endless night,
My life to pass in endless night.
