I Will Not Desist



by Seyh Galip & Ersin Esen

I will not desist, though you wound me a thousand times; I have loved you.
It was written in the stars, it was meant to be; I have loved you.

I shall not recant as long as the heavens revolve;
Let the earth and sky bear witness; I have loved you.

I have fallen prey to a cureless pain; I have loved you.
Whether it be right or whether it be wrong; I have loved you.

In short, do not torment me in vain; I have loved you.
Let the stranger see, let the friend know; I have loved you.

I will not desist, though you wound me a thousand times; I have loved you.
It was written in the stars, it was meant to be; I have loved you.

O, It was written in the stars...
It was meant to be...
I have loved you.
I have loved you...
