Why, my beautiful one?
You were like my shadow,
staying by my side,
where have you drifted away?
If you do not touch me,
I will be all alone from now on.
You came like the breeze,
and gave me the ache of love.
O lotus...
Why this delay?
Come right now,
stay by my side.
In the tears of my eyes,
love is burning,
do not scratch my heart with thorns.
True love
will never fail.
Do not hurt me...
Before this longing
comes and swallows me whole,
with your eyes,
touch me, my love.
Rushing waves
will cross the shore...
Our love must be fulfilled
once again.
This sad state of my love will heal,
this pitiful sorrow,
without turning into heartbreak.
Love that finds faults
is never right,
do not run away without joining me...
I am pitiful too,
why are you angry with me?
You came like a flower,
and gathered over me like a storm.
You are my precious life,
and I am your very soul.
Just as water and its color
can never be separated,
and the endless sky never shatters,
our two hearts
are trading places here,
what a sweet disturbance this is.
