Who dreams of laurels ?

This i am not destined for

Who dreams of myrtle ?

I turn my back on the world

I am assailed by doubt

Don´t you remember

O desired form ?

I am assailed by doubt

I no longer hope for pity

See my cruel adventure

And as here nothing endures

Neither light nor new beauty

What´s left of our tenuous faith ?

Listen, strange sphinx

I speak only to tell the truth

Listen gentle creature

My heart wounds my consciencie

Sweet torment

Sweet torment

Even the world trembles

Song of my cruel adventure

You know how here nothing endures

Neither light nor new beauty

What´s left of our tenuous faith ?

Song of my cruel adventure

You know how here nothing endures

Neither light nor new beauty

What´s left of our tenuous faith ?
