Can I tell a story?
The story is dreadful
But there are words you need to know
Oh, this is a ravine
Where abandoned hopes
have been strewn at the door
Then we must see the whole truth now
The boat was as lonely as a cloud
And once in a while, their sighs made the wind stronger
Oh, beautiful woman
Your love sent you into a sleep of pain,
your vain love painted a thick fog
And another beauty, the one who launched a thousand ships
Abandoned islands, an unplayable violin, a non-smiling smile
If I had one more chance
the hope that I had secretly embraced in defiance of his words
Tore my flesh apart and left me in even more pain
Oh, god o' pain, Other angers
Please now let me die
