Alas, my life
Like the foams on the sea
Sweetheart stayed in the air
He wasn’t able to go down to the depths
If only he would have been tied to his sail with a rope
Even with the white foams on him
If only he would come ashore in every spot you visit
Alas, my life
Resembled this wounded and diving and surfacing
cormorant’s death agony
He closed his eyes
And descended to the bottom of the seas
