Some selected songs
This is the fate of lovers.
Tension is their destiny, morning and evening
Two hearts in the world cannot meet forever
Meeting eyes is only a message of separation.
There is neither peace in our hearts nor a night of peace.
Tell me where is the rest in the world?
Even if you die, you have seen the ruins of the world.
Whoever loves fails like this.
We are ruined in love and will remain ruined. Our hearts will weep, we will not shed any tears for you. We will keep the secret of love hidden in our bosom. Oh, faithful soul, we will not love you. We complain of fate, but we are not angry with you. We will bear with a smile the pain you have caused. These lightless eyes will no longer seek you. We will not see you when you come before us. If you love me, give me all your sorrows.
Give me every tear from these eyes.
Make your sorrow my sorrow and there will be a compromise.
Hide your pain in your bosom and there will be a compromise.
Give me everything that hurts you, my ideal.
If you love me,
Why don't you share your sorrows with your life partner?
Why don't you reduce these sorrows by sharing your sorrows?
Give me a little of this heart's yearning, my idol
If you love me,
I will never see tears in these eyes again.
May the sound of laughter continue, may these lips smile forever.
Give me all your sighs, all your pain and sorrow.
