SLEEPLESS NIGHTS




UNDERSTANDING "SLEEPLESS NIGHTS" IN ENGLISH

Translation


Am keeping awake night after night 
Who snatched the sleep from my sight 
Alas, ahoy 

For whom I roam around alone 
My thirsty eyes find no one. 
His melody,O' my, his melody, 
My heart fills with his flute's euphony 
Alas, ahoy 

Not a word yet in my ears 
I know not, what I do hear 

In this heart full of pains 
Often drizzling eyes strain 
Shadow sways, his shadow sways 
His shadow sways all night & day 
Alas, ahoy
