Oh heart, oh heart,
My dear heart,
It melts, it breaks,
Come to me, even just a little, my heart,
It melts away, my heart...
Oh, my heart, my heart,
My dear heart,
It dissolves, it falls apart,
Come to me, even just a little, my heart,
It dissolves away, my heart...
With wild, crazy dreams,
I thought only of you.
With not just one or two pains,
I have shattered into pieces now.
I suffered in your memory,
I ached from our separation,
Oh, just go away...
I can't bear this pain, can't bear it at all!
Leaving me behind,
please don't go far away.
Both my eyes cannot sleep through these tears.
I am the shadow that walks beside you,
but a shadow doesn't know how to speak.
Neither with you,
nor with myself,
I have to live on.
With so much pain
and so many memories, why am I withering away?
With wild, crazy dreams,
I thought only of you.
With not just one or two pains,
I have shattered into pieces now.
I suffered in your memory,
I ached from our separation,
Oh, just go away...
I can't bear this pain, can't bear it at all!
Oh heart, oh heart,
My dear heart,
It melts, it breaks,
Come to me, even just a little, my heart,
It melts away, my heart...
Oh, my heart, my heart,
My dear heart,
It dissolves, it falls apart,
Come to me, even just a little, my heart,
It dissolves away, my heart...
