I shall saddle a horse, A swift courser, he, I shall fly, I shall rush, As the hawk is keen, Over fields, over seas, To a distant land. I shall overtake there My young youth again. I shall make myself spruce Be a blade again, I shall make a fine show For the girls again. But alas! no road leads To the past we've left, And the sun will not rise For us in the west.
