O my love,
do not be angry with me.
All my life,
do not make me search for you.
I am a servant,
a lover of love itself.
From whom
will I search for you, my love?
O my love,
do not be angry with me.
All my life,
do not make me search for you.
Even in my sleep, I think of you,
and staying awake, I will love you.
Even when I eat,
I only crave for you.
Everywhere I go,
holding on to your hands,
I keep walking.
What anger is this, that you blindfold me
and tell me to search for you?
O love, I am
a messenger of love.
Love me back,
and live on, my love!
O my love,
do not be angry with me.
All my life,
do not make me search for you.
O love, at your doorstep,
all words fall silent.
Even the words meant to be spoken
slip away out of shyness.
Even when no one was around,
we never crossed our limits.
We fell in love and melted with emotion,
yet our hands never even touched.
For thousands of years,
you have lived on, O love.
Yet there has never been
a lover quite like me.
O my love,
do not be angry with me.
All my life,
do not make me search for you.
I am a servant,
a lover of love itself.
From whom
will I search for you, my love?
O my love,
do not be angry with me.
All my life,
do not make me search for you.
