Four candles lit
stand guard over a coffin,
and in it lies asleep
the corpse of my love.
Oh, what a cold wake
such loneliness and pain,
only the four candles are there
also dressed in mourning
crying in my heart.
You will wander like a shadow
and it will be your curse
that no one can love you
as I did.
And you will have to answer
before God's tribunal,
one does not kill with impunity
and you killed my love.
