Waltz of Goodbye

(Куплет 1)
So fragile is the thread of love,
So easy to unwind,
I lost myself in eyes above —
In skies too undefined.
You stood upon a pedestal,
My fire burned too bright.
I waited long, I gave it all —
But dreams ran out of light.

(Припев)
Why, cruel fate, do you pretend
To give the heart some hope to send?
Then let the wave of silence rise,
And drown love’s spark before it dies.
Oh, waltz of parting, soft and slow —
You dance us gently into woe.

(Куплет 2)
The rain of doubt began to fall,
And washed the vows away.
Like leaves, our promises grew small,
And scattered with the day.
Two shores once close, now fade in mist,
Where pride became the sea.
Our voices lost, the moment missed —
No more of you and me.

(Припев)
Why, cruel fate, do you pretend
To give the heart some hope to send?
Then let the wave of silence rise,
And drown love’s spark before it dies.
Oh, waltz of parting, soft and slow —
You dance us gently into woe.

(Финал)
So ends our song — a whispered lie,
To the waltz of love… goodbye.
