Far Away
English source:
Jeremy Sams
Cursed is my destiny
Bitter, my agony
Wandering aimlessly
To lands unknown to me
Far from my family
Everyone dear to me.
Look at what’s left for me
Heartbreak and misery
Heartbreak and misery!
Sighing so bitterly
Weeping unceasingly
Sometimes my agony
Seems far too strong for me
Pounding unstoppably
Deep in the heart of me
Even the stars I see
Laugh at my misery
Laugh at my misery
Sometimes I hear the breeze
Brushing the poplar trees
Even the thought of these
Heavenly harmonies
Can’t set my heart at ease
Deepen my miseries
How can I live with these
Bittersweet memories?
Sometimes I hear the breeze
Brushing the poplar trees
Even the thought of these
Can’t set my heart at ease...
Heavenly harmonies
Deepen my miseries.
How can I live with these
Bittersweet memories?
Bitter, my agony
Wandering aimlessly
To lands unknown to me
Far from my family
Everyone dear to me.
Look at what’s left for me
Heartbreak and misery
Heartbreak and misery!
Sighing so bitterly
Weeping unceasingly
Sometimes my agony
Seems far too strong for me
Pounding unstoppably
Deep in the heart of me
Even the stars I see
Laugh at my misery
Laugh at my misery
Sometimes I hear the breeze
Brushing the poplar trees
Even the thought of these
Heavenly harmonies
Can’t set my heart at ease
Deepen my miseries
How can I live with these
Bittersweet memories?
Sometimes I hear the breeze
Brushing the poplar trees
Even the thought of these
Can’t set my heart at ease...
Heavenly harmonies
Deepen my miseries.
How can I live with these
Bittersweet memories?
