Translation:
You are my heart, you are my life, oh, why can't you understand that? If only I could heave a sigh for your sake! But better not.
You've had sweet letters from me, they were like hot words on a cold stone. What were they to you?
Not a day passes without one of my limbs going numb, and my blood's running cold in my veins. I'd rather be dead, …but better not.
