Vítězslav Novák (1870-1949) - The Fairytale of the Heart, Op.8
Melancholy song
There are poor hearts in the world,
Which do not know happiness
And to whom every day and every night
Promise only a new pain.
There are poor hearts in the world,
Which do not know love,
And already at a young age
A deep wrinkle has been carved into them.
There are poor hearts in the world,
Which know only longing,
But it occurs only to few of us
How very long life feels when lived only in longing.
