This was the best translation I could find.

"I hate and I love. why do I do perhaps you ask.
I do not know, but I feel it happening, and this is torture."

Ever since there have been people, there have been people feeling the blues it seems.

It's not a XII-bar blues, though...

I hate and love, why do I do perhaps you ask
I hate and love, why do I do perhaps you ask
I don't know, but when it happens, it really sucks

Well, with just a little tweakage, it could be XII bar!

@Oisin, @oldwailer:

Like many of Catullus' poems, it's to his lover, so how about...

(I)
I hate you
I love you
Why?
You ask me why I do.

(IV)
I hate you
I love you

(I)
Why?
You ask me why I do.

(V)
I don't know, woman

(VI)
But I do

(IV)

(I)
And Lord!
It makes me blue

(I, V)

???

EDIT: @arzajac: XII bar!
