Enga pona

Where did you go?
Where did you go?
I am running in all directions searching for you.
Unable to find you,
unable to see you,
I drift helplessly like a kite with a snapped string.
If you stay as my very life forever,
there will be no sorrow.
If you just appear before my eyes,
I need nothing else... ah...
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
I am running in all directions searching for you.
Unable to find you,
unable to see you,
I drift helplessly like a kite with a snapped string.
Aaha... aa... aa...
Aaha... aa...
Aaha... aa... aa...
Aaha... aa...
You are the word given to me,
you are all the family I have.
If you are not there,
I will throw myself into the fire.
With all the surrounding villages watching,
the garland I had prepared
slipped away from my hands—
what kind of cruel circumstance is this?
As you disappear out of sight,
and I dissolve in my tears,
I do not want this life anymore.
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
I am running in all directions searching for you.
Unable to find you,
unable to see you,
I drift helplessly like a kite with a snapped string.
If you stay as my very life forever,
there will be no sorrow.
If you just appear before my eyes,
I need nothing else.
