Verse Dedicated to a Sad Girlfriend (Continued) pg. 63

I can’t die and I can’t live

For what use is life without you

            Sadly, gloomily here on this earth

            The wind wears at the trees

            And my life is that sad

            Because I don’t see you ________.[1]

Like a beggar are my desires

He seeks in a song and a memory

May God in high Heaven shorten my useless life

Give it to someone in the world who is happier[2] than poor me

            Remember me, because I [remember] you

            And my love will end in the grave

Sincere love does not die

My heart loves yours

I will not forget you

Until [I’m] under the cold grave
