What kind of selfishness of yours is this
you choose neither sunlight nor shade
What kind of selfishness of yours is this
whose feet don't stay in a fixed place
[the previous 4 lines x2]
You became your own prophet
crossed the seven seas
nevertheless, your heart dried up inside
Why did that keep happening?

You are so detached and inconstant!

The earthen water jug waits for you

What kind of selfishness of yours is this
(your) lips enjoy neither salt nor candy
What kind of selfishness of yours is this
you forgot old love
Oh, oblivious, carefree Lord
you are a whirlwind
(but) extinguished in such a way deep inside
Why did that keep happening?
