Leave me so that I may cry

Leave me so that I may cry at my cruel fate
and so that I may sigh at (my lost) liberty 1
Leave me so that I may cry at my cruel fate
and so that I may sigh at (my lost) liberty
 
And so that I may sigh
and so that I may sigh at (my lost) liberty
 
Leave me so that I may cry at my cruel fate
and so that I may sigh at (my lost) liberty
 
Grief may shatter these bonds
of my sufferings out of pity alone
of my sufferings out of pity alone
 
Leave me so that I may cry at my cruel fate
and so that I may sigh at (my lost) liberty
 
  • 1. The phrasing is ambiguous and the line also means: and so that liberty may sigh
