A boat wavers in the middle of a whirlpool
It neither stays, nor goes
A little, (because) the waves/whims of love drag it down
A little, (because) the storms of separation strike it

You don't know this pain of mine
Or do you, and pretend not to?
[both lines x2]
For a moment, it seemed that you were mine,
the next moment, you seem a stranger

Whatever you say without speaking
I just hear without speaking
Pervading you in these eyes (of mine)
I shall knit (them) with a some new dream

I am not visible even to myself
when I look myself in the mirror
Is it I, or then is it you?
My mind is tangled in this tangle.

These hearts of ours are attached to each other
To say that there isn't any bond
to a bond of such a chaste one …

Simply nobody  in the world understood

When you suffer some injury
there is also pain over here
Should your eyes get wet,
this heart of mine also cries

But even you have asked
Who are you, beloved?
