The fall might pour into the river, Water at the bank in its length, Yet whatever fine trouble arouses Don’t ever ask why, through it all
My loved ones, they never showed care in the dark Much like my colleagues to me, Like a tree in the rain, I hold out in such vain Because I never question nature or its reasons
The tenor of my time, In all our ambience— Bear in mind, Bear in time— Please! Don’t ever ask why.
