Song of the Harlequin   Hugo von Hofmannsthal

​

love, hate, hope, fear,
All joy and all torment
Everything a heart can endure
Once in a while..

  But neither pleasure nor pain,
Dead also the pain
This is deadly to your heart
And you can't be like that to me!.

  gotta lift you out of the dark
Were it also about new torment,
you have to live, dear life,
Live one more time!

Hugo von Hofmannsthal
