[Verse 1]

So sweet caress, never long to last!
wewe entered my soul and gave hope to my life,
So sweet caress, never long to last!
wewe left me behind all alone and aghast,
Captured inside such and astere Elysium.

[Chorus]

Imperfect feelings, futile grief,
upendo a device against all solitude,
As it all went on, the upendo became,
A field in a dream that once had been real.

[Verse 2]

So sweet caress, never long to last!
Destroy this illusion we need a change of fate,
Your frantic thoughts are only a condemned cry.

[Chorus Repeat]

[Verse 3]

Primo somniare videbamur,
Deinde veritas se praecipitavit,
I secretly longed for something that never existed,
First I thought it was a dream,
But then it smashed into reality,
Beautiful on the outside, decayed deeply within,
I secretly longed for something that never existed.

[Ending]

Devoted to a body without a soul,
Numquam non tibi diffidam.

[Verse 1]

The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished,
Smothered kwa those who could not kubeba to face reality.

[Chorus]

Every beat of your moyo tore the lies all apart,
Made foundations quiver,
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain, tiled to break,
And I shiver...

[Verse 2]

The leftover tallow just does not contain all the right answers,
Under a sea of dust,
Lies a vast wealth of wisdom,
(As untouched snow turns red, innocence dies)

[Chorus Repeat]

[Verse 3]

This black page in history is not colorfast,
Will stain the next,
And what remains is just a feint of what was meant to be,
This black page in history is not colorfast,
Will stain the next,
And nothing seems in life,
In dreams like what was meant to be.

[Chorus Repeat]
