Since I am forgotten by you, sweet friend, I bid farewell to a life of love and joy. Unlucky was the day I placed my love in you; Since I am forgotten by you, sweet friend. But what was promised you I will sustain: That I shall never have any other love. Since I am forgotten by you, sweet friend, I bid farewell to a life of love and joy.
