After all the pain

Year  after  year,  century  after  century
I  walk  with  heavy  steps.
I'm  looking  for  you,  my  love
But  I  still  can't  find  it.

I  plucked  the  leaves  a  thousand  times
From  huge  white  calendars
And  day  after  day  I  was  looking  for  you


Sometimes  I  tore  and  threw
I  fell  into  despair  and  sobbed  non-stop.
My  eyes  have  lost  their  original  colour
And  you  are  still  not  with  me.

I  passed  cities  and  villages,
Either  sad  or  funny.
And  I  looked  at  any  house,
And  hope  burned  in  me
Darkening  the  mind  forever.

I  have  spent  many  lives  looking  for  you.
I  have  seen  all  those  centuries
Who  are  now  talking  from  afar.

I  was  a  princess  and  a  slave
flower  and  moon,
But  all  this  time  I  wanted  to  be  with  you.

Alas,  I  do  not  know  you.
I  don't  know  if  I'll  find  you.
I  don't  know  anything
Only  one  thing  is  predetermined  by  fate
Look  for  you,  wandering  in  the  universe
And  dust  swallowing  cosmic  luminaries.
