I Love These Lyrics

Secret Promise (translated from "Jura Secreta)


Only one thing makes me sad:…

The lovers kiss that I didn't steal

The secret promise that didn't make

The lovers quarrel that had no cause


Nothing that I can do will haunt me

More than what I've never done

Nothing that I can ever do will erase the longing

For that which I'll never know again


Only one word devours me:

The one which my heart never spoke

It becomes the sun that blinds me

- That makes me sad

even in the glare that never ceases
