O, these beautiful eyes, and As ich ken kein mame nit sein

"Since I cannot be a mother."

"Beauty is found in your shining bright eyes."

"My luck is asleep. I cannot have a child, nor have the joys of being a parent and grandparent. There is no remedy for my illness. The sun shines, but not for me."
