Why in my soul... [De ce în sufletul meu...] - Veronica Micle

Why in my soul there is a war?
Maybe I'm making a mistake,
My hopes are vain and maybe your
Sweet love for me is just a fake?

And when I meet you for a while
And look into your eyes with care,
Why in their sweet and gentle smile
I see my hardship and despair?

And when I shake your hand – this jewel,
Why am I grieved and want to cry?
Seems that an omen bad and cruel
Tells me an evil will come by.

But secrets are and secrets pass
All things that in one's love are found –
And I a lot of pain amass
When I explore my love profound.
