The heart weeps, the mind cries
The sky rains, the sun shines
The moon smiles, the air blows
Lovers love, enemies hate
...
How long shall I wallow in fears?
Alone in the heart of the barren sea
For my eyes cry to see my home in the quiet nest
From the saint of memories, my heart filled with empty hopes
...
In the shadow of earth, half of my life passed
Flying unpleasantly in dreams like a polluted air
Tears rolling like a wound in the water
An account of the passing of death
...
Once upon the past, when we never mattered
Injured and hurting in stagnancy
Our souls cried out loud to be nourished
Our hearts sings and requires warmness
...
