Time that passes
Will never return
And the wind carries away
Lost loves
Yet each time,
Every spring,
Love returns to us, different.
Remember her lips, her voice;
Her skin was soft as silk.
At her lips you drank wine
That quenches all sorrows.
The game of life
Is always lost.
Grand words, money—
All fall apart.
In the game of love
We sometimes win
An hour of pleasure,
An hour of joy.
Remember, it wasn’t so long ago
A girl held you in her arms.
Remember how happy you were
When she cried out in delight.
One day for us this
Journey will end.
It will all be over.
All the refrains—
The end of the road
Is still far away.
Come now, it won’t be tomorrow.
I remember those starry nights,
That girl with golden and silver eyes,
Her arms, her perfumed body—
That I have not forgotten.
