Lyrics
Rough translation of the poem into English: Love constant beyond Death Perhaps whatever final shadow that The shining day may bring could close my eyes, And this my soul may well be set aflight By time responding to its longing sighs; ? It will leave the memory where it was burning; ? To swim the cold water knows my flame, ? And to lose the respect to severe law. Soul to whom every one God prison has been, ? Veins that humor to so much fire have given, ? Marrows, that there is the gloriously brave one, ?? His body they will stop, not his care; ? They will be an ash, more they will have sense, ? Dust they will be, more in love dust.
