* If Mrs. P is unable to play the piano, she should mime to the performance of the orchestral player.


“Ich Grolle Nicht”

78 *I won’t complain Even though my heart may break. Love lost forever! I won’t complain.

533

However you may radiate With the glory of diamonds. None of the rays Touches the darkness of your heart. I’ve known this for so long.

Subito meno mosso

I won’t complain. Even though my heart may break. For I did see you in my dreams. I saw the darkness In your heart.

And I saw the serpent That is gnawing at your heart. And I saw, my love, How wretched you are. I won’t complain.
