Dear Melisse

Once or twice I had a kiss
With very pretty girl.
This girl called herself Melisse.
She said: "You must to promise me your all:
All your living,
All your loving,
And your soul will be mine".

Wasn't I the bloody fool
When I opened my mouth!
I could say just: "Yes. Be mine.
It is guaranteed that I
Couldn't have another girl.
I can promise you my all:
All my living,
All my loving,
And my soul will be yours".

In the next port I forget
The girl, whom I promised that,
But once at morning I remember:
"All your living,
All your loving,
And your soul will be mine".

She is a beast –
My dear Melisse!
She is a witch,
And if she will cry –
I'll have to die!
I ask your forgiveness,
My dear Melisse!
- You're late! –
Replies him the beast.

And today this boy is dead.
He was buried 'bout her house.
He was not so very bad,
But he couldn't keep closed his mouth
