Will be next beside my first lover

I feel pains my heart and teardrops my eyes,

Remembering the moments of those days,

Hurting, hopeless like a desert flower waiting for rain,

I feel pains my heart and teardrops my eyes,

Remembering the memories of those days,

Hurting, exhausted like a river-bank thirsting for the touch of pitchers

I feel pains my heart and teardrops my eyes,

Remembering the moonlight spreads over the night,

Hurting, hopeless like the dark night longing for moonlight

I feel pains my heart and teardrops my eyes,

Remembering our love memory,

Decorating my dreams of past lovely life with you

Brings tears to my eyes every moment

And now I am happy and smiling

Looking at the space next to you grave

Waiting for me to be laid there, my dear

When my time comes, and it will

Sleeping next to you again, forever.
