Song About a Man I Know
- I know a man, O beloved so fair,
- whose death is near at hand, your hand;
- open your eyes so as to remember
- me, dear lady.
- I know a man whose fate is decided,
- whose death is doubtless close by;
- open your eyes and recall to mind
- me, dear lady.
- I know a man – hear me yet! –
- whose death, from love, only you can prevent;
- open your eyes so as not to forget
- me, dear lady.
[English version by Richard Zenith]
