Song of the Green Eyes
- I won't deny to you, my friends,
- how badly love has hit me,
- because I see how mad I act,
- and madly I'll admit it:
- the green eyes that I saw
- have made me what you see.
- Everyone knows to whom these eyes
- belong, and although this who
- resents the fact she's talked about,
- I'm dying of love – what can I do?
- The green eyes that I saw
- have made me what you see.
- If a man has lost his mind,
- then he has to be excused
- for all the mad things he may say,
- and so I madly say to you:
- the green eyes that I saw
- have made me what you see.
[English version by Richard Zenith]
