My Love

Write down my name, remember it.

Please, talk to me – your voice is sweet.

I’m just a ghost, but want you stay

In my old flat for some short days.

 

Remember me, my dear girl!

I know you always loved my soul.

I was so weak before my death

And saw your happy laughing face.

 

Forever young, forever dead.

O, God, tell me, why life’s so sad?

Why did I live in darkness, why?

I couldn’t smile. I couldn’t cry.

 

Just look at her – she is my love.

I cannot stand that I’m so far!

I want to kiss her pretty lips

And hold her hands until she sleeps…
