Love?

Öjvind Lindén

Why do I need your body with no soul?

Why do I need your mind without a virtue?

Your inner world's as black as coal...

A thousand times I've told you,

 

That when you visit my dark side,

The sorrow enters me, my mind – comes out.

From you, I would be happy just to hide,

To find salvation in my fair doubt...

 

The omens I received from gods were true!

The hellish creatures told me you're the demon!

Three witches saw the same in their magic brew

And woke in me a highly anxious feeling...

 

The help of witches passed in vain,

The more I knew, the less believed it

And felt as if I was insane,

With my mistake I was bewildered...
