When Sorrow Embraces My Heart
Desire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love have torn us apart...

In the touched silence of my aching soul
A big sea of emotion is heard inside of me...
It is the fury of all flames, the rage of all winds
The anger of all sullen seas

My heart cries... Cries...

And in that immense vastness, my heart cries
Cries the hopelessness, cries the pain, cries the grief
Raised by the love that burns in my frozen heart
Casting fire to my glorious taciturn quietness
The sorrow stream my grievous eyes with water
That floods my heart, that crestfallen sea of tears

My Heart is torn apart, consumed in silence by pain
Shedding in tears and elegies for it's love
Ah, my anguishes, over whelming baleful of my passions
How I wished to blind them near to my chest, feel them and die!
Die...

Ah, so much nostalgia! so, so much loneliness!
Poor soul, how you are so fiercely cold
Your whispering sunked with tears, your hurted sighs
Are a seediness, a regret, a desolation

I will die... Die...

Oh, how terrible is this anguish, this despair of can't confessing
In a screaming tone, in a last scream
My love with the heart bleeding

Ah, sentimento funebre! Oh, lutuosa melancolia!
Deusa da negra escuridão do sentimento que me esfria
Celeste e divina é a lembrança, a memória do teu beijo
A arder-me no peito, esse céu amplo de desejo...

Ah, gloomy feeling! Oh, mournful melancholy!
Goddess of black darkness of the sentiment that freezes me
Heavenly and divine is the remembrance, the memory of your kiss
(Oh sorrow, embrace me... In your arms I wish to die)
Burning in my chest, that wide sky of desire...

Here, just me and you and my shadowy sadness
With my soul already fed up of sighing and moaning
What I want is to take to death
My being overflowing of suffering, perish to suffer

And in deeply sad agony, my eyes ripped off by tears
With which my soul relieves the pain
Are fainting like the sky at daylight
Oh, what outermost of pain! Oh, what tragic misanthropy!

When sorrow embraces my heart, it dies alone!




True love never dies...
Love is suicide...
