I don’t love you anymore, my love
I don’t love you anymore, every day
I don’t love you anymore, my love
I don’t love you anymore, every day
I don’t love you anymore, my love
I don’t love you anymore, every day
I don’t love you anymore, my love
I don’t love you anymore, every day

Sometimes I’d like to die, [since] since I wanted so badly to believe
Sometimes I’d like to die, so as not to have anything
Sometimes I’d like to die, so as never to see you again

I don’t love you anymore, my love
I don’t love you anymore, every day

Sometimes I’d like to die, [since] so little hope is left
Sometimes I’d like to die, so as never to see you again
Sometimes I’d like to die, so as never to know anything again

I don’t love you anymore, my love
I don’t love you anymore, every day
I don’t love you anymore, my love
I don’t love you anymore, every day

I don’t love you anymore, my love
I don’t love you anymore, every day
I don’t love you anymore, my love
I don’t love you anymore, my love


** this translation is somewhat awkward, the nuance of the song is that you're supposed to understand that the persona is speaking ironically--he's clearly not 'over' her because he still refers to her as my love, and his use of the expression 'every day' suggests that he's probably trying to convince himself that he no longer loves her. sorry, the subtleties aren't easily captured.**
