Lyrics & English Translation

Farewell, flowery refuge
of happiness and love!
I shall always be tortured
by the sight of her sweet face.
Farewell, flowery refuge,
Your dreariness I cannot bear.
Ah, your dreariness I cannot bear.
I must go, I must go, ah, how I despise myself!
Farewell, your dreariness I cannot bear.
Ah, how I despise myself,
ah, how I despise myself!
