One of their best works. The music is exquisite and matches the lyrics perfectly. To me this song tells the story of a Ballerina that is pregnant and is being watched by the one who impregnated her while she performs, probably he's a noble or something, he sleeped with her but doesnt care about here at all, that would explain her crying. At the end of the song she dies maybe from labor complications
