My peace is gone
My heart is heavy;
I shall find it never and nevermore

When he’s not with me,
Life’s like the grave;
The whole world
Is turned bitter.

My poor head
has gone mad,
My poor mind
torn apart.

My peace is gone
My heart is heavy;
I shall never find it never and nevermore

It’s only for him
I gaze from the window,
It’s only for him
I leave the house.

His proud gait
His noble figure,
The smile on his lips,
The power of his eyes,

And the magic flow
Of his speech,
The touch of his hand,
And ah, his kiss!

My peace is gone
My heart is heavy;
I shall find it never and nevermore

My bosom
Yearns for him.
Ah! if I could clasp
And hold him,

And kiss him
To my heart’s content,
And in his kisses
Perish!
