Refrain
Translated lyrics
(This translation was designed so it could be sung in English. It is not an exact translation, but fits well with the music. It even sort of rhymes. Enjoy!) 1. My love for you is real And joy fills my heart Yet somehow I feel That we will someday part. My confidence is shaken My heart is filled with fear That one day I'll awaken And you will not be there. So I sit in a corner in fear Now remember my love to hear... Refrain: Hear how my heart pleads Don't forget me In joy in sadness Don't forget me For I am always yours No matter what Where'ere you go, don't forget me. You leave me - take my heart and soul with you Your name remains in my heart deep and true Three little words -forget them not. I ask of you - don't forget me.
