Down in the valley there

Down in the valley there

the water flows so sadly,

and I can't tell you

that I love you so.

You always speak of love,

you always speak of fidelity,

but a bit of falsehood

is always there too.

And if I tell you ten times,

that I love and like you,

and you do not want to understand,

then I will have to move on.

For the time that you have loved me,

I thank you kindly,

and I wish that somewhere else

things may go better for you.
