It is shameful to speak of it, my friend,
Yet it is painful to keep it to myself.
It is shameful to speak of it, my friend,
Yet it is painful to keep it to myself.
With no sorrow and no shame,
I just go on living somehow, my friend.
Ah... ah... ah...
It is shameful to speak of it, my friend,
Yet it is painful to keep it to myself.
With no sorrow and no shame,
I just go on living somehow, my friend.
Ah... ah... ah...
It is shameful to speak of it, my friend,
Ah... ah... ah...
I earned gold and great wealth,
I adorned my woman with flowers,
I earned gold and great wealth,
I adorned my woman with flowers,
And like a king among kings,
I live inside a grand palace.
It is shameful to speak of it, my friend,
Ah... ah... ah...
Even those who sleep on a simple mat
Can sleep peacefully with their mouths wide open.
Even those who sleep on a simple mat
Can sleep peacefully with their mouths wide open.
Yet though I lie on a luxurious bed,
There is no peace in my heart.
Yet though I lie on a luxurious bed,
There is no peace in my heart.
Sweet-talking parrots that come to cuddle
Turn into deadly snakes, my friend.
Sweet-talking parrots that come to cuddle
Turn into deadly snakes, my friend.
After striking with venom, just like the Buddha,
They pretend to live in saintly truth!
For the poor who have nothing,
The only trouble is having nothing.
For those who have everything in life,
Everything they possess is a trouble, my friend.
Ah... ah... ah...
It is shameful to speak of it, my friend,
Ah... ah... ah...
Even without food to eat,
O person blessed with peace of mind,
Even without food to eat,
O person blessed with peace of mind,
When I think of your simple life,
My heart yearns and aches with longing.
When I think of your simple life,
My heart yearns and aches with longing.
This hall of radiant pearls,
And the bed adorned with diamond jewelry—
This hall of radiant pearls,
And the bed adorned with diamond jewelry—
I will give them all to you,
If only you give me your peace of mind.
It is shameful to speak of it, my friend,
Yet it is painful to keep it to myself.
It is shameful to speak of it, my friend,
Yet it is painful to keep it to myself.
With no sorrow and no shame,
I just go on living somehow, my friend.
Ah... ah... ah...
It is shameful to speak of it, my friend,
Yet it is painful to keep it to myself.
With no sorrow and no shame,
I just go on living somehow, my friend.
Ah... ah... ah...
It is shameful to speak of it, my friend,
Ah... ah... ah...
