THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!

there is no other way, I will go away by myself one evening

I will come all of a sudden while the street lamps are asleep

while the purple night, scarlet dawn and streaming water were hibernating..

murmuring hum of the softness in your voice

while the cicadas, the ants and the beavers were dormant

by filling the brightness of the dawn into my pocket

by burning the horror, dirt and lowness on my way

I will come to your door one evening, there is no other way.

 

I can understand because of the pain inside me, my voice looks for its mode

a misty autumn sky is dark, and it is looking for its mode too

every day on the surface of the soil,

even though the lords of the heaven would have strangled us

they are the cheap, dark and ugly barbarians of the world

I can understand because of the pain inside me, there is no other way

I will come to your door one evening

 

there is a heart on the cosmos, and it functions thunderously

so do you, I can hear the streets every night

the amber of your sweat swathed the world

what I am going to say after so many pains is obvious

that you love talks to the eternity by burning itself

no, it is not the way to be all alone like this in the nights

I will come to your door one evening

 

there is a nightmare hovering on us

the true words are united with malady

if I say give me your hand to get out of this dark vortex

you can’t come since there are blood, flood on every direction on the way, and life is short

brotherhood is stabbed and lying down in the dark

there is no way anymore, do not bolt your door

by holding my unfortunate head from its hair

I will bring it to your door of which the wind is afraid this evening

 

No, there is no other way, I will come this evening.
