Oh heart of mine! Look at what you have done!
Our precious times together are now gone!
The liquor of love is poured out of thine,
Like that of an empty bottle of wine.
Quivering sadness; concealed loneliness,
A heart bleeds in the hands of a princess,
Blood and tears flow like an endless stream,
Flooding the valley of a pointless dream.
The ocean could not hold her many tears,
What could end it? The love I hide for years?
But how could I break free from seclusion?
Love remains in pure imagination.
I’d rather die than live a while longer,
Than see my crystal castle in shatter,
As the wind blows the dust on its edges,
Tears shall fall endlessly through the ages.
Oh, heart of mine, it’s time for you to rest,
Or shall you wait dearly for what is best?
It’s the time to sleep, oh heart of mine,
Until the fateful morning comes to shine.
From the “Concealed Passion” (A Compilation)
