I wanted to live a life of my own,
From the onset of reason,
Til nothing seems feasible;
To whatever age must come,
I have lived a life of my own.
And loved the love of my life.
No child such a mother,
No husband such a wife.
I've lived a life of my own,
Not alone and alone,
This life's loves are settled
In her home, her home,
And her home.
Never alone,
In this life of my own.
