FORGET-ME-NOT FLOWER

You said “come,” I came, but you, my beloved, were not there
The village square was set with the wedding’s halay dance
Those who saw me whispered among themselves
Forget-me-not flowers stayed in my hands

Your lilac scarf, in the hue of the forget-me-not flower
By the riverside, the forget-me-not flowers
I would craft a crown of lilac to suit your head
The forget-me-not flower, like me, was left an orphan

I wrapped my sorrows with the little joy left
My dreams no longer fit in my heart
I withdrew to the foot of the highest mountain
The love in my heart does not leave my side

As I cry, my sorrows grow heavier
As I shout, my heart breaks apart
Girl, I loved you so much, I thought you were my only love
But you have become someone else’s beloved

The floral satin dress you wore for me
My only wish is that you keep it in your trousseau
Oh heart, be patient, nurture your hope
One day the door will knock, embrace your hope

My eyes searched for you a lot, I am where you first kissed me
My eyes got stuck on the lilac forget-me-not flower
I am on the rock where you carved our love’s name
Don’t lean from the steep cliffs to the river, be my true word
Let your words become my very essence.
