This has become a trend to love one girl
Before switching over to another.
Love and discard, cut off the relationship abruptly
But pause you and think of the pressures of breaking.

I love you, I love you,
May I know it,
How many times have you to
How many girls?

The soul in distress,
Oh, love is not love today,
What a lover is he!
...
My love, you could not feel it,
The tinge of my pain.
