Il testo della The song with no name

Long years ago i fell in love
With a lady proud and fair
So passionate were she and i
We made fire in the air

I loved her more than life itself
She loved me just the same
And it broke my heart
To think we'd part if she ended the affair

But i was brutal, i was ignorant
I was cruel, i was brash
I never gave a damn about
The beauty that i smashed

No sadist i, i took delight
In making my love cry
Now i'd pray for a single kiss from her
To be lashed and crucified

And now i feel this lady fair
Can never more be mine
Long gone are night in my lonely bed
All suffering and crying

And though i fear that through this life
She'll only call me friend
'till i'm dead and buried in my grave
My love will never end
