For you I am waiting, Burning incenses and lighting candles, Singing songs and chanting names, Washing floors and painting walls, O my Love, Will you come? Will you come? For you I am praying, With hope and faith, With trust and belief, With love and affection, O my Love, Will you come? Will you come? For you I am living, In surrender and devotion, In dedication and commitment, In renunciation and refuge, O my Love, Will you come? Will you come?

Though I never confessed my love to anyone and forever I have loved you within my heart alone, but since you are always resonating in my songs, the whole world has heard you through my words, and knew it that you are my beloved for whom my life is all meant for. Though I never admitted my ecstasies to anyone and forever I have treasured you within my thoughts alone, but since you are always reflecting in my joys, the whole world has understood you through my delights, and knew it that you are my beloved for whom even my death is all meant for.

Since I forgot to beg my alms yesterday, I am hungry and weak today. And since I am hungry and weak today, I didn’t beg my alms for tomorrow. What tomorrow will bring to me, I do not know, I do not care. Yet within this uncertainty, I am contented and gratified, That You chose me to be like this. Overfilling my heart with love for You, And my soul thirsty dry for Your love, That I die everynight crying for Your love, And I born everyday for to love You again.

Let me talk about love, In such a way, In so many ways, That eventually you will become one like me.
