Translation:
Without a heart, grieving, I will part from you,
not to feel any joy until I return.
Since my body must part from yours,
without a heart, grieving, I will part from you,
but I know not where I shall go,
because, full of sorrow and tears,
without a heart, grieving, I will part from you,
not to feel any joy until I return.
