lyrics
Lyrics translation:
Blackthorn flowers in savage bloom,
While leaves are falling, sealing our doom.
If love's a stranger to your heart,
You've yet to know sorrow's dart.
I, a maiden in youth's wild dance,
Have felt the sting of tragic romance.
Sundown's comfort has fled my gaze,
In sleepless nights, I lose my days.
I'll seize a chair, hard and bare,
Beside the window, in despair.
My eyes, they've yet to find a nap,
While the sun sets in twilight's lap.
Dream or not, you restless souls,
Sleep will shun your nightly tolls.
My love's gone on a reckless ride,
To find another by his side.
Blackthorn flowers in savage bloom,
While leaves are falling, sealing our doom.
If love's a stranger to your heart,
You've yet to know sorrow's dart.
