Traditional Gypsy Curse

Seek counsel of him who makes you weep, and not of him who makes you laugh.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,

My working week and Sunday rest,

My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;

I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

and you were to walk near my grave,

from the very depths of the earth

I would hear your footsteps.
