A thought crossed my mind once.
Male: When?
That? You mean that?
During the street play at the front yard,
you stole my heart
with words gentle as peacock feathers.
Daring to face anything,
taking everything in your stride,
someone who leads the way like you—
I have never seen such a person.
A thought crossed my mind once too.
Female: When?
That? You mean that?
One day on the road,
after the protest was over,
as I came to drop you
off at your home,
in the strike of your two eyes,
I lost something of mine
without even knowing it, my man.
Where did it come from,
this love, my comrade?
Male: There is no one here to explain,
that is the truth, my comrade.
Both: Is love emerging from within
to show its face?
Is it holding out a flower,
telling us to unite and live together?
As you speak of something
and I listen, my very walk changes.
A joy my heart had never known
fills my soul because of you.
Every day, your memory
sprinkles like a light drizzle.
Even the sunshine talks of you... hey!
On every radio station,
it is your voice I hear.
At every moment,
my heart longs to be with you.
Slowly, gently,
you entered my breath.
And once you entered,
you cooled down my fever.
All through the day, beautifully,
you swim across my soul,
and I have read
all about you in a song.
Where did it come from,
this love, my comrade?
Female: There is no one here to explain,
that is the truth, my comrade.
Both: Is love emerging from within
to show its face?
Is it holding out a flower,
telling us to unite and live together?
