Melankoli [English translation]

I’ve really missed you

And you cross my mind suddenly

When I drink and cheer up.

You waited for me but I didn’t come to you

I amused myself at night

When I got high and became numb

You told me but I didn’t hear you

I played Mecnun to Leyla

When I loved and I was loved.

Now I understand that I was wrong

I’ve clutched at straws

After you died and were buried.
