Love of my life – you hurt me,
You broken my heart and now you leave me.
Love of my life can’t you see,
Bring it back, bring it back,
Don’t take it away from me, because you don’t know, what it means to me.

Love of my life don’t leave me,
You’ve stolen my love, you now desert me,
Love of my life can’t you see,
Bring it back, bring it back,
Don’t take it away from me because you don’t know what it means to me.

You will remember –
When this is blown over
And everything’s all by the way –
When I grow older
I will be there at your side to remind you how I still love you – I still love you.

Back – hurry back,
Don’t take it away from me, because you don’t know what it means to me –
Love of my life
Love of my life…

Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music."
