Under an Ancient Oak - Tears of Mankind

At the mysterious river, in a sleeping wood

In a dark grove there is an ancient and sad oak

There, the covered foliage, the tomb has settled down

In it the most secret desires covered with ashes of time

In fine light of the wood, painted by gloomy tones

Its silhouette flickers blue sparks — they so are beautiful and sad

She looks at me an illusive sight, she calls me, she calls me

Its hair cry on a wind, twisting me immersing in deep dream

I shall have a drink you to the bottom, I shall enjoy this marvellous taste

Sweet lips touch me — give me this last kiss, keeping away and keeping away

from me

Delightful sufferings of carnal love will carry away us in nonexistence

Learn my flesh, having plunged completely in oblivion of my caress
