"Pity, Venus..."

Because, each night
Your sweetness accompanies me
And reminds me of my destiny
Oh divine Venus
I have come to pray to you
Have pity on my suffering
Tell me why
I've been living so many years
Under the weight of such a burden

Each night
I'm afraid...
I see again that which I kill!
Alas I must kill them
to live
oh divine Venus
I have come to pray to you

Happy soul
One that doesn't return

For so many years
I have lived under my burden
Tell me, Venus
Why do I live
