Before I go
(lyrics: W. Piętowski, music: J. Odrowąż)
(Esther Ofarim sang it in Sopot, Poland 1962)

see my video of this song:
 

I'm going, just another minute,
so let me have at least that minute like an alms.
I confess all my guilt
but I desire to redeem it
and forever I leave full of qualms.

Before I go,
do kiss me once and then no more.
And let me oh,
once kiss your hands
that I adore.

In my eyes I want your picture as before
and in my heart,
oh I know
that I may not do anymore, no more.
Before I go,
hence never to return again.
Yet you must know
that my own fault has caused me pain.
I know those days will not come anymore,
our days,
but forgive me, before I go.

Before I go,
hence never to return again.
Yet you must know
that my own fault has caused me pain.
I know those days will not come anymore
our days,
but forgive me, before I go.
