Oh, faithless one, oh faithless one,
Why did I love you, oh faithless one?
Why did I love you, oh faithless one?
Why did I trust, why, oh why?
Why did I love you, oh faithless one?
The heart bore a thousand sorrows, never a sigh escaped,
In your love, my life was laid waste.
The heart bore a thousand sorrows, never a sigh escaped,
In your love, my life was laid waste.
And still, you could not be mine,
Oh, faithless one, oh faithless one,
Why did I love you, oh faithless one?
Why did I trust, why, oh why?
Why did I love you, oh faithless one?
I offered every joy to your sorrow's plea,
In your waiting, I spent my life's decree.
I offered every joy to your sorrow's plea,
In your waiting, I spent my life's decree.
And you, too, gave me deceit,
Oh, faithless one, oh faithless one.
