Never Could I Love Anyone Save Her Never could I love anyone save her, The one who has given my heart The magnificence of feelings, Making my song sung in love, At all times! Verily, I would my songs about her Be sung with stanzas of diamond! In fact, you taught me love, May people be taught, That goal, long-sought! Indeed, marvelous are my feelings! One day our loved ones will pass by us, While guards are perching before my grave! Your fragrance will emanate from my remains When your memory will set air ablaze! Time has passed, Yet still I am alone, On my own, Suffering from the bitterness of the goblet! I’m trying in vain And will always try with no avail, To interpret you love and peace! I tried to peruse everything people claimed About the art of love! One day, I learnt, like a little pupil, All what they said about love! You memorized it I learnt them all by heart, Implemented all what is said with all heart, Then I claimed that I was a man who madly loved! Whenever the debate was heated They came to me to prosecute And adjudicate love, Hence I be the judge and the foe!
