Healer!


The dust of Your doorstep is just the right thing to apply, 

If the Collyrium doesn't show its beauty in my eye, 


Oh, healer? Are you angry with me have You forgotten me? 

I have none except for You who will take care of me? 


The shock of Your desertion has come as a blow to me, 

Who's gonna listen to my cries? Who's gonna soothe me? 


My soul--I'll weep and weep for you, the world has caught you in its spell, 

Oh, Healer! Will you help me, help me to get out of this hell? 


Poor me--Not even a single shadow of the things you love will go with you when you are dead, 

Self--Why then have you forgotten your true self, every ounce of conscience why have you bled? 


Oh, Healer! I send all the nameless unknowns to You, 

Do they tell You that I seek for You, towards You my devotion is true? 


Or do they speak only evil of me? 

Who's been able to change destiny? 


I'll seek You down the wandering brooks, praying We must meet again, 

I'll look for You where the sun sleeps, don't tell me We shan't meet again, 


You taught me that this youth is a loss, Why were we born? Why did we not die? 

Why such beautiful faces with ugly soul why such melodious words turn out to be a lie? 


Like water in cups of unbaked clay,  I run to waste, 

Would I ever reach my home, or I shall be replaced? 


The way of the world is a meaningless fun, I invited a difficult fate, 

One day I shall find You, one day for me, You shall open the gate, 


The flowers left the garden, to make way for me, make way for a sin

I'll find You soon, but will You welcome me, will You let me in?
