Golden threads weave the moonlight
to the pathways (leading) towards your pillow
somewhere at the ends of the Earth.
There where I dare not go.
For whom tonight are those
two brown eyes of yours on fire?
From whom are you not hiding them?
For whom are you suffering?
Ref. 2x
And even if I had a hundred lives,
not just this grain (of a life)*
even then your beauty would
dress me in black*
Do I not have the right to know
for whom your eyes are burning?
Do I not have the right to ask
whose glass you are filling tonight?
Ref. 4x
