Song for a Dying Admirer
- My friend is dying of love
- for me, but I don't believe it,
- and so he says he'll come
- and die right at my feet,
- and I would really like to see
- whether or not he dies for me.
- He sent a message imploring
- me to be so kind
- as to let him die right here
- and to watch him while he dies.
- and I would really like to see
- whether or not he dies for me.
- Women, don't ever believe
- the suitor who would die,
- for I have yet to see it,
- although I wish he'd try.
- Yes, I would really like to see
- whether or not he dies for me.
[English version by Richard Zenith]
