For the songs I sang for you
No gift I wanted in return
My days are not long
And the songs I have but few
When the evening will come
And the stars will begin to shine one by one
I shall end my singing
Forget them if you want
But how will you forget
The songs for me you sang
In the nights echoing with rains
In the air of spring?
Of this I am certain
You won’t forget
How you charmed my mind.
