There are plenty of attempts to translate this beautifully simple song into English, but it is absolutely impossible to convey all the spirit in it... which means that I really must try. :-)
Here goes:
"
If ever anyone, asks about me...
Tell'em that I lived to love you.
Before you, I have merely existed
tired and without anything to give.
My dear, listen to my prayers
I ask that you return, that you again want me
I know one can't love on one's little own
Maybe, very slowly, you can again learn to
My dear, listen to my prayers
I ask that you return, that you again want me
I know one can't love on one's little own
Maybe, very slowly, you can again learn to
If your heart won't want to give in
Won't feel the passion, won't want to suffer
Without making plans for what's to come
My heart could love for the both
