By the river alone,

I watch the water flow,

I feel in everything

and I think of you,

my distant life,

and I think of you,

my close companion.

and I think of you,

my beloved bride,

who comes and goes to never stay,

who come and go, to leave me in peace,

in that peace I never had,

and which I never found.

by this river alone

I watch the wind fly

and I think of you,

and I think of you,

who comes and goes to never stay,

who come and go, to leave me in peace,

in that peace I never had,

and which I never found.
