It hurts
My heart aches
My eyes are crying out here
Whenever I think of you
Will my weeping voice
not reach you?
I am suffering, won't this sorrow end?
Won't this loneliness leave me alone?
I like nothing anymore, won't this state change?
If you leave, what companion do I have left?
A soul is in agony here, needing you
There is no one
in this world for me
Even a flower
has withered and died in your absence
Longing has arrived
and wounded my heart
In this life,
you became a bond that didn't last
Every night I cry
I hate what has happened
That I have lost my very soul,
I feel it within me
Aaha....aa...aa...aa...
Aaaa....aaaa......
Aaha....aa...aa...aa...
Aaaa....aaaa......
The whisper of your voice beside my ear
Tears stream from my eyes
Always with me,
you live on as my companion
Forever and always,
my heart celebrates you
You are my only joy
The memories of you inside me
will never fade away
Do not ever leave from within me
There is no one
in this world for me
Even a flower
has withered and died in your absence
Longing has arrived
and wounded my heart
In this life,
you became a bond that didn't last
It hurts
My heart aches
My eyes are crying out here
Whenever I think of you
Will my weeping voice
not reach you?
I am suffering, won't this sorrow end?
Won't this loneliness leave me alone?
I like nothing anymore, won't this state change?
If you leave, what companion do I have left?
A soul is in agony here, needing you
There is no one
in this world for me
Even a flower
has withered and died in your absence
Longing has arrived
and wounded my heart
In this life,
you became a bond that didn't last
