LYRICS

You heard that Aretousa mine, bad news for me to say
You father’s anger punished me and I’m being sent away.
He gave me lesser than a week before I’m gone from here
Move somewhere really far away and none will share a tear.

And how am I to separate and live away without you
And that's the reason why it makes me sad to think about you.


Your father’s will to see you wed, and proudly be a bride
He’ ve always seeked the greatest man to stand by your side
I know this is your parents’ wish, that is what they desire
You cannot dare to disobey, and say: “no my sire”.

This thing alone I ask from you it's all I want my lady
and after this I will be pleased to end my life I'm ready

Open and find in my drawer the painting that I treasure
and all the songs I used to sing and you were feeling pleasure
And read them all and look at them and think of me a little
how they deported me for you my life became a cripple

And when they tell you that I’m dead, sorry for me and cry
and all the songs I wrote for you, you burn them in the fire.
