Bury me, my love

Bury me, my love, in a lead coffin To not hear the rustle of the poplars, Not to hear the noise of the world, Until I rot completely. Bury me, my love, in a corner of the cemetery To be far from other dead, To be hidden by the thick earth, Without seeing the beautiful sky. Bind me, my love, with heavy chains So that I can never leave the coffin For I want to become earth And then to turn to dust. I will remain forever in the earth For I cursed the eternal heaven When it stole people dear to me And now, it doesn't accept me.
