The evening wind, gracefully blowing toward the west, Running after the lazy withdrawing shadows Without hasting to look back In the vanities of the nature Somehow, under desperate eagerness, we manage to move on! Then under the glaring and shameless moonlights and the twinkles It runs again, from here to there and back As if there is no turning back It moves in the majestic peace Somehow, under the desperate eagerness, we manage to move on! Then, it comes to me and I quickly accept it Hoping for the best in the time it exists in my arms It wimps, breaths, sighs, cries in my arms But I soothe it with a smile Somehow, under the desperate eagerness, I manage to move on! One morning I humbled myself thinking of the eternal Like a young person on a journey of conquering I made up my mind, to open my heart And allow it inside mine, sewn against and inside mine Somehow, under desperate eagerness, I manage to move on! Right now, I digress Because of my insensitivity and supporting those who fights us Not wanting to take sides, with them And they put me asunder Somehow, under desperate eagerness, I manage to move on! I try searching for myself In the vanity of wallowing hatred, And fail to locate my heart, soul and mind That I hide under the wallowing noise Somehow, under desperate eagerness, I manage to move on! I live here, without a voice Feeling deeply etched in guilt In a resounding novelty of catastrophic cacophony And still, still I manage to survive under the desperate eagerness! « return. |
