Please release me, let me go,
For I don't love you anymore.
To waste our lives would be a sin,
Release me and let me love again.

I have found a new love, dear,
And I will always want her near.
Her lips are warm while yours are cold,
Release me, darling, let me go.

Please release me, can't you see,
You'd be a fool to cling to me.
To live our lives would bring us pain,
So release me and let me love again.
