Why, oh girl?
You left me and went away.
My life, where are you?
My love, what shall I do?
The time my heart beats,
Will now live with changes.
From now on, when my heart beats,
It will race without limit.
My heart searches, it searches for you.
Will I get you again...?
Why, oh girl?
You left me and went away.
My life, where are you?
My love, what shall I do?
……………….
You are my entire heart.
You lived sowing love.
Today, why oh girl,
Did you uproot the roots and go?
Why upon my dreams
Did you throw acid?
Did I lose my dreams?
I stood forgetting my sleep.
This is a land without women,
It is a blessing to stay alive.
That land where women exist,
It is a curse that takes life.
Where did you go, my life...?
……………….
Even with mirage water,
You quenched my thirst and left.
Today, why oh girl,
Though the Ganges is here, there is thirst.
I said I had no relationship,
You were the one who gave me a world.
Today, why oh girl...?
You left me stranded in a desert.
What is a life without you?
That land without you,
That land without you,
That is a life without air.
My love, where did you go?
Why, oh girl?
You left me and went away.
My life, where are you?
My love, what shall I do?
The time my heart beats,
Will now live with changes.
From now on, when my heart beats,
It will race without limit.
My heart searches, it searches for you.
Will I get you again...?
Why, oh girl?
You left me and went away.
My life, where are you?
My love, what shall I do?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning
