Tears on Loan

For the well being and happiness of all

I recite the songs.

For my living, who will sing ?

When I recite the songs,

they hear, rejoice and dance.

Hereafter with me, who will dance ?

  
Who understands
the soft flowery heart that I have,
but earned a bad name. 

Poor man, I am without any way to go,

Whatever I say is the sin .

My heart itself turned foe against me !

Where can I take the tears on loan ?

No, even if it comes on loan, 

I will refuse.

It takes time for the fairness to settle,

And to feel and see the justice.

Then it will be known who I am !

Your look falling on my heart,

What is your thinking,

I can understand.

Now I am dumb and silent

Without any language.

But one day, I may speak.

You can live, finding your own ways

You can be happy,

Wherever you go.

Finding my own way, henceforth I can depart,

And I can go on reciting

for your welfare and happiness.

For the well being and happiness of all,

I recite the songs,

For me, who will sing ?
