Guitar:
Love, I must go. I am leaving.
Living a lie everyday, dear.
Please don’t be sad, stop your grieving [for me].
[My] dear, I’ll survive without fear.
[Oh], tell the truth. Do you love me?
[Oh], let me know. Who are you — [pride]?
Run! Far away! Don’t look back! Free [from me].
[And] Gone are the days by your side.
Piano:
Come back to me. I am dying.
Pining away for your love, too.
Lost all my hopes, gave up trying [alone].
[Oh!] Dear, all my love is for you.
Here in your arms, I am sleeping.
Close to your heart, from the inside.
Death! Set us free, no more weeping [goodbye].
[And] Gone are the days by your side.
Another long-head attempt at canzonetta lyrics in ababcdcD, efefgdgD pattern.
