By night and by day I have been
watching the road she has taken
Darkness covers the sky so I cannot see
her and I am now shaken
The yard is empty, the home is empty
and my heart is empty too
I have kept the lamp of my love burning
but it is flickering too
The strong wind blows to blow it out
but I wouldn't let it fade
I know I can save it for my beloved by
keeping it in the shade
Rain bearing clouds hover above me
with tons of tears in their fold
The clamour of birds and the brilliance
of flowers keep me bold
Clothed in fresh rainbow adorned with
lilacs and roses comes my love
With a tinkling heart and sorrowful
eyes I am waiting for my dove
The day goes by and the evening
disappears night fills the home
All is just a dream because I cannot
find my Pretty Lotus at home
The sky then gets clouded by mist and
my world vanishes like a bubble
The unending pain remains unchanged
all the loneliness gets double
I am now eternally wedded to her with
the fond memories of the past
I am determined to will keep living with
my beloved as long as I last.
