Disenchant what I have treasured,
treasured in my heart for years –
disenchant yourself and free me
from my own continuous tears
What’s the use of crying – tell me –
when you’re crying for a dream?
What’s the use – it equals lying,
loving what has never been
Disenchant this worthless idol
which I’ve kept for lack of more –
kept and locked up in my soul
rather than bar it at the door
