WHERE ARE YOU, MY DARK-EYED LOVE?

No one asks about me—where are you, my dark-eyed love?
Evening’s darkness has fallen on my window.
Stars are flowing across the sky,
And darkness has filled my room—I'm left without you.

Longings spilled into the heart of the night,
I have no strength left to gather them.
Like ants, they scatter through my room,
Yearning struck my heart—tears fell from my eyes.

Don’t weep, my heart—you’ll drown in sorrow.
Let no tears fall from your eyes—they turn into longing.
I’m left without you, in a land not my own,
My heart is crucified in your absence.

Blue hues flow gently through my heart.
Send the news to the birds and insects.
Let everyone ask, so none remain unaware.
Stars have fallen into the gaze of my soul.

Dawn fell upon my heart, with the scent of spring.
Take a handful of love—come, let it be love.
My dark-eyed one, my heart stayed with you.
I am your Alibaba—my breath is bound to yours, my dark-eyed love.
