[Verse 1]
I can do without fortune
Because it carries misfortune in itself
I need to destroy it
What I love, I want to adjust

[Bridge]
That I'm glad, must not be
No (No, no)

[Verse 2]
I don't love that I love something
I don't like it if I like something
I'm not delighted when I'm delighted
Yet I know I will regret it

[Bridge]
That I'm glad, must not be
Who loves me shrinks thereby

[Chorus]
What I love
That will spoil
What I love
That must also die, must die

[Verse 3]
So I hold myself harmless
I'm not allowed to love
Then I do not need to suffer (no)
And no heart breaks

[Bridge]
That I'm glad, must not be
No (No, no)

[Chorus]
What I love
That will spoil
What I love
That must die, must die

[Bridge]
Happiness and joy
Are followed by torment
For everything beautiful
One has to pay, yes

[Chorus]
What I love
That will spoil
What I love
That must also die, must die
What I love
