Whims and Lament

Would that the wind would blow away ten years.
Would that the rain would wash away all care.
Would that the sky would draw me up above.
Would I could choose to choose the one I love.

Would it were cold to sleep in my love's arms.
Were love carefree, would love could do no harm.
Would love could end, could ever have enough.
Would I could choose to choose the one I love.

If I were strong, I'd live my life alone.
If I were free, I'd leave my love and home.
If love could sing, I'd sing a wistful song.
Would I could choose to choose the one I love.

Would I could choose to choose the one I love.
If love were free, I'd fly to where I'm from.
