Why does the human heart break?
Sitting by you, at the lake,
I wondered
With a simple word, we falter.
But with a lack of words entirely,
We break.

Oh why is man, who seemed so strong
Crushed in spirit by the silence of a lover?
And how could woman, with all her grace
Lose compassion for he who adores.

Oh my heart by this lovely lake
Do not of man abhor!
Lose from you the folly of youth!
Why must we love when it isn't shared?
Why must we, when one loves us
Be filled with cruel indifference?

Oh, my heart like the lords of this peaceful sky
Like those who return every rotation to shine,
As the stars glimmering in the sea above,
Oh, my heart, be redeemed.
