BRAKES

UNDERSTANDING "BRAKES" IN ENGLISH
Translation

I ceased to walk while walking.
I ceased to think while speaking.
Please tell me how to tell.......

I crossed the seven seas.
Yet, I got trapped in mudprints.
Tell me how to travel......

Don't know....Don't know.
When such a moment may come.
That I may cry with tears flowing.
And despise all gold & pearl.

A distant traveler that I am...
A little tired that I am.
But to whom I may complain..

Please Come...Please Come....
In grey-wet-dark-tidal-twilight.....
Let few moments be spent.
And forget all pains....

That totally spent I am.
So I desire to be freed.
But how to release the chains.....
