O’ traveler of the noontime
Under the shade of love
Lighten up for a moment
Lighten up
With the heart craving adequate
How long will you
remain thirsty?
Relax for a while
Everything, all the
rills and rivers are dry
Gone the glow of my
face
Eyes no longer have
tears
No… do not let the
hopes die
O’ traveler of the
noontime
Under the shade of love
Lighten up for a moment
From the roots of oak
tree Chagal is full with water
Satisfy your thirst
Desires remain not
forever;
Who’ll call you
tomorrow?
O’ traveler of the
noontime
Lighten up for a moment
You are entrapped
within the transient beauty
And never peered into
the depth of spirit
You did not stir beyond
the ashes
Where the fire burnt
Ruthless, merciless you
are
O’ traveler of the
noontime
Under the shade of love
Lighten up for a moment
A few words of
passionate love
Would have been enough
for me
But you never uttered
them
Restless is your soul,
Tell me a remedy.
O’ traveler of the
noontime
Under the shade of love
Lighten up for a moment
Come back to me if you
don’t find a shade
Be like a skylark
Open your hands before
nobody
Don’t mislead yourself to
dark
Under the shade of love
Lighten up for a moment
